What I essentially did was this: cabal configure cabal build sudo mv /usr/local/lib/lib{xml2,gnutls,gsasl,idn}.a /tmp cabal install sudo mv /tmp/lib{xml2,gnutls,gsasl,idn}.a /usr/local/lib but I've also had to patch network-info. I've contacted the maintainer of that package but I haven't received anything. I'm considering creating an actual fork with my changes but that would almost seem kind of silly as I don't know *ANY* haskell.. But I am looking at the Haskell wiki as I'm typing this so I can see what I'm looking at :). Won't break anything by not setting SO_REUSEADDR? I suspect you're setting it for a reason? """]]
