I'm trying to compile vty from: https://github.com/jtdaugherty/vty

Steps to build are just: cabal install

A friend is able to compile with the same version of ghc/cabal on Mac (and there seem to be builds on Stackage too), so I suspect this one might be specific to the Fedora package.

With verbose output, the log is:
