I am trying to install haskell HGL package on windows environment. This is what I get:
e:\Study\haskell>cabal install HGL
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring HGL-3.2.0.0...
Building HGL-3.2.0.0...
Preprocessing library HGL-3.2.0.0...
Graphics\HGL\Key.hs:57:8:
Could not find module `Graphics.Win32'
It is a member of the hidden package `Win32-2.3.0.0'.
Perhaps you need to add `Win32' to the build-depends in your .cabal file.
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
Failed to install HGL-3.2.0.0
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
HGL-3.2.0.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
Because I am all new to Haskell, and googling didn't help me much, please give advise how can I fix this.
UPDATE

If you look at the documentation for HGL, it states the dependencies as:
base (<2), Win32 or
base (<2), X11 or
array, base (==3.*), Win32 or
array, base (==3.*), X11
You have base-4.6.0.1. You don't meet the requirements for the package to install.
The real question is, why you are trying to install a package last updated in 2009? If you need a simple graphics library, use gloss. If you need more powerful graphics, use OpenGL, which comes with the Haskell Platform.
