Failed to load interface for ‘ObjLink’

When I try to install remote-debugger via cabal install remote-debugger I get the following error:

For your information I'm on GHC 8.0.1 and cabal 1.24.0.0

Me too. I'm on this version of MacOSX and ghc. Thanks.

I found the ObjLink is a module named GHCi.ObjLink. So I modified the source code from
import ObjLink
to
import GHCi.ObjLink
and
mb_stdout <- liftIO $ ObjLink.lookupSymbol "base_GHCziIOziHandleziFD_stdout_closure" mb_stderr <- liftIO $ ObjLink.lookupSymbol "base_GHCziIOziHandleziFD_stderr_closure"
to
mb_stdout <- liftIO $ GHCi.ObjLink.lookupSymbol "base_GHCziIOziHandleziFD_stdout_closure" mb_stderr <- liftIO $ GHCi.ObjLink.lookupSymbol "base_GHCziIOziHandleziFD_stderr_closure"
And then, this error has been soluted.
But I got a new error, which means that initDynLinker's parameter must be the type of HscEnv, however there's a DynFlags type parameter was used. The DynFlags type parameter is returned from the function GHC.getSessionDynFlags. I don't know how to deal with this problem, because I'm a Haskell beginner. I searched the GHC document, and found that I can't understand the information of these functions, due to I know nothing of the knowledge of GHC.
