Thanks for the help, It seems that it is the root of the problem. "mount" list some mount point among which I can find "c:" but no "c:/msys/c" directory exist. I then tried to create a "c" directory and the "mount" command to create a "physical" location at the root of my path but it did not work any better.
However, I managed to install wxHaskell by doing the following: - 1) copying the wxWidget include directory "/c/haskell-platform/2010.2.0.0/mingw/include/wx-2.8" in the mingw include directory, "/c/haskell-platform/2010.2.0.0/mingw/include", (and done as well with /c/haskell-platform/2010.2.0.0/mingw/lib/wx/include/msw-unicode-release-2.8) so as not to have to pass any --extra-include-dirs to cabal, - 2) launch cabal install wx --ghc-pkg-options="-v2 --force" If my memories are correct even with 1), ghc-pkg complained about the directories not existing; when using the "--force" option as in 2), it manages to properly install the packages. It turns out my set up required some --jedi skills :-) On 04/25/2011 08:12 PM, Howard B.
