You need to:

stack setup --upgrade-cabal

This is because my cuda package has a custom Setup.hs script, but cabal has no way of testing what version of the library you are compiling the Setup.hs file with (although that is changing, so things should improve). This is mentioned in the docs for that package.

Alright sorry about that. Now I am getting this however http://pastebin.com/kavbGvUM , I followed the instructions on the wiki. I installed cuda through arch's pacman, and set the paths (which for me is /opt/cuda/...' however for the ld_library_path I only seem to have a 'lib64', no 'lib'.

Ah, are you using cuda-8? I haven't finished updating the package for that yet. You can try using this branch, which I haven't finished yet but it should at least compile. In the packages section of your stack.yaml something like...

- location:

I made a patch release which should fix your issues.
