Failed to load interface for ‘System.Random’
Perhaps you haven't installed the profiling libraries for package ‘random-1.1’?
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
Note that I have other stack projects on my system which do not yield this error. The only difference between those projects and this one, that I can think of, is that this one makes heavy use of C/C++ FFI.
Finally, I tried adding dependencies on tf-random and random to my cabal file, but to no avail. Note also I'm not using random libraries in my project, and running stack build works just fine (I only see these errors when I add the --profile tag).
