Hello,
I downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wb2pdf/files/mediawiki2latex/7.1/
and simply ran make. This did not trigger cabal.
You also have to install the build dependencies before you compile
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8), ghc,
libghc-regex-compat-dev, libghc-http-dev, cabal-install, libghc-hxt-dev,
libghc-split-dev, libghc-blaze-html-dev, libghc-file-embed-dev,
libghc-highlighting-kate-dev, libghc-hxt-http-dev, libghc-regex-pcre-dev,
libghc-temporary-dev, libghc-url-dev, libghc-utf8-string-dev,
libghc-utility-ht-dev, libghc-http-conduit-dev
Indeed I forgot to increase the version number from 6.9 to 7.1.
But what I recommed you to do it to download the deb for you
architecture from the bottom of that page and install it with a
graphical package manager frontend
http://packages.debian.org/de/sid/mediawiki2latex
A friend of mine was successfull with this procedure with mint lts which
should be similar to yours.
I will be on a buisness trip until Thursday, so my next reply will take
some time.
Yours Dirk

I'm not on Ubuntu 13.10 (still running the LTS of 12.04); but I tried
downloading and installing the cabal manually just to try it out. I'm
getting the following error from installing the cabal in
mediawiki2latex-7.1.tar.gz; any thoughts? (Also for some reason the build
tells me that it's attempting to build 6.9 -- issue in the cabal file?)

Hello,
in the current version of ubuntu (13.10) you can compile pages from
MediaWiki to LaTeX using the commands:
sudo apt-get install mediawiki2latex
mediawiki2latex -u https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Ries -o AdamRies.pdf
