I haven't updated haskell platform to newest, but I would find it strange if the old version stopped working. If you merely had to rebuild wxhaskell, the issue might be that 0.9 and 0.13.2.1 target version 2.9 by default. Wx-0.13.2.1 can be configured to use your 2.8 installation. I roughly outlined the process in previous post. http://www.mail-archive.com/wxhaskell-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01139.html
As a side note, most of the mysterious cabal build errors I get (on windows 7) are fixed by running set LANG=C in cmd before compiling (or setting it as permanent environment variable). Installer would indeed be very nice, but it takes a lot of work to create and maintain universal installer and it would currently benefit only a handful of people. I'm guessing the majority of wxhaskell users are fairly savvy developers, so it would not seem worth the trouble. That of course quickly becomes self fulfilling statement since it will actively drive away people who have no interest in fiddling with the nuances of the installation process. They may give it a try, but fail and give up and you never hear from them. I will devote some time on this if I end up using haskell on more projects. Most people who wish to use wxhaskell are not likely to participate in its development, but at the same time people are less willing to develop a library with only few users. Haskell platform itself is pretty much single click installation, and it is very easy to get started with. Ideally that should be the case with every gui toolkit as well.
