I installed EclipseFP, the Haskell plugin for Eclipse, on my Ubuntu 12.04, running on Eclipse 3.7.2 and ghc (i) 7.4.1. Each time I start Eclipse, EclipseFP asks me to install a supporting scion executable browser (0.2.12) and buildrunner (0.7.2), but it will ultimately fail to install both.
An attempt cabal install scion-browser(or cabal install haskeline) on the command line fails with
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
haskeline-0.7.1.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
user error (The package requires Cabal library version -any && >=1.16 but no
suitable version is installed.)
While cabal install buildwrapperfailing with

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I seem to be unable to find any Google hits by any mistake.
