I'll send you the errors first. I think it's just that when compiling my software GenI, GHC isn't getting the -L flags it needs to find my wxWidgets (say -L /custom/wxWidgets-2.8/lib). We know what these flags are since we can compile wxcore; we just need to save them to the package description > > Second: the old wxHaskell had a convention where if a wx-config lives in > > /usr/local/wxhaskell/bin that we would use it.

Is it related to installing > wxWidgets yourself? Are you saying that /usr/bin/wx-config and > /usr/local/wxhaskell/bin/wx-config disagree? That seems bad. It is related to installing wxWidgets myself (*) MacOS X ships with its own wxWidgets, which /usr/bin/wx-config points to. I just need to make sure I'm running the wx-config that goes with my wxWidgets instead. Perhaps a simple solution is just for us to ship docs that remind people to edit their bashrc files and put their wxWidgets bin in the PATH. No silly mechanisms. * A regrettable necessity on Macs for some reason; too bad too, because I was pretty psyched about MacOS X shipping with wxWidgets by default. Actually, for some odd reason I can't get wxHaskell to work with Ubuntu 9.04's wxGTK either and had to install my own as well. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
