   Building via cabal is not properly working for uhc, in particular for libraries. Executables may work, but in practice it turns out to be handiest to gather all files in a single directory and then build. Admittedly not the way it should, but further cabal integration is still something to be done.

   I successfully built and installed v1.1.9.4 of UHC by the standard way:

   $ ./configure
   $ make
   $ sudo make install

   `uhc --version' returns

   ehc-1.1.9.4, revision @952b02e, timestamp 20160823 +0900 113928

   When I try to install a package using cabal, it always fails, complaining
   missing bc/plain. For example,

   $ cabal install --uhc transformers
   Resolving dependencies...
   Configuring transformers-0.5.2.0...
   Building transformers-0.5.2.0...
   Preprocessing library transformers-0.5.2.0...
   ehc: dist/build/transformers-0.5.2.0/uhc-1.1.9.4/bc/plain: fileAccess: does not exist (No such file or directory)
   Failed to install transformers-0.5.2.0
   cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
   transformers-0.5.2.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
   ExitFailure 1

   I also tried filepath-1.3.0.1 and show-0.6, and they failed with the same error.
   I tried unpacking those packages and tried to build them there.
   They failed with the same message, and those files (and even transformers-0.5.2.0/
   under dist/build) did not exist.
