It is not Windows specific.

I believe it was Haskell I tried on Linux. After multiple compile errors caused by missing libraries and conflicting versions I just gave up. And this is not the only time this happened to me. Even with old languages like C this happened to me in the past.

This is a real problem for beginners because you just don't know all ins and outs of the ecosystem.

This is largely solved in Haskell by stack. Problem is many haskellers steer people away from Stack.

Just so people know -- go the stack route of building your haskell apps.
