I'm not at all familiar with any of this, but I guess this is all generated by autoconf or something similar and the configure file sets the -I for gcc etc, right?

The package from http://hackage.haskell.org
did have a configure script that I guess was generated by configure.ac, so from what I understand it should have set the correct include libraries.
Anyway it worked when I set CPATH manually, so I guess the error was in the configure script.
I was trying to install xmonad-contrib and xmobar, I guess xmonad-contrib worked but not xmobar since it needs a newer haskell compiler. In my humble newbie opinion it is a pity that there is not more xmonad in openbsd, since it is sucha nice windowmanager, but I guess http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq1.html#HowAbout rules
