gtk2hs/gtk2hs#163 looks relevant. Could you try LANG=C stack build as suggested here?

[RichardWarfield]

Same error encountered, and LANG=C stack build did not resolve it. What did fix it was bumping the gtk2hs-buildtools version in stack.yaml to 0.13.8.3.

@RichardWarfield Thanks for your comment. The issue isn't reproducible on any of my machines (Linux and macOS). Would you mind making a PR for your fix?

[OlaoluwaM]

For those who use Fedora, you'll also need to install the gtk2-devel package to get things to build successfully
