The whole Gtk+HS libraries are linked in even if you only need a fraction of the available functionality. It is possible to get GHC to handle this somewhat better (as done with all the libraries distributed in the GHC bundle): http://haskell.org/pipermail/gtkhs/2001-August/000068.html Cheers, Manuel _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
