You are using a version of cabal-install that has the --only-dependencies flag
to the install command. Invoking that instead...

Please install `gtk2hs-buildtools` first and check that the install directory is in your PATH (e.g. HOME/.cabal/bin).
Failed to install cairo-0.12.4
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
Chart-0.16 depends on cairo-0.12.4 which failed to install.
cairo-0.12.4 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

It's unclear from README that one needs to install gtk2hs-buildtools to build this stuff. libcairo2-dev is also needed, as it turns out, and an error is also uninformative (found with trial and error).
