Please search the issue tracker before posting! It seems this is biting a lot of arch users lately, though may affect others. Perhaps report it upstream to arch? Seems something changed in arch that is breaking things.

Workaround here: #3448 (comment)
Another recent report of the same issue #3466
Older report of same issue: #3459

While it appears to be the same error, the previous fix didn't work for me. What did work however, is installing ncurses-full from the AUR.

Ah, good to know that workaround too, glad it's resolved.

One route would be to make an Arch issue about not making the haskell setup so atypical. Seems like in the last couple months issues with Arch have been the top OS-specific / distro-specific issues
