[Gtk2hs-users] Using gtk2hs with ghci 6.8.2 on Windows XP

[Rene de V. <Ren...@ho...>]

With ghc 6.6.1 gtk2hs was working ok under ghci

with ghc 6.8.2 (and 6.8.1) I get the following

GHCi, version 6.8.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> :load "c:/Programme/Gtk2Hs/demos/hello/World.hs"
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( 
c:/Programme/Gtk2Hs/demos/hello/World.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Main.
*Main> main
Loading package array-0.1.0.0 ... linking ... done.
Loading package mtl-1.1.0.0 ... linking ... done.

Loading package containers-0.1.0.1 ... linking ... done.
Loading package gtk-0.9.12.1 ... linking ... : unable to load package 
`gtk-0.9.12.1'
*Main>

in the case where there is only World.hs in the directory. If I compile 
World.hs first with ghc I get:

Prelude> :load "c:/Programme/Gtk2Hs/demos/hello/World.hs"
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( 
c:/Programme/Gtk2Hs/demos/hello/World.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Main.
*Main> :main
Loading package array-0.1.0.0 ... linking ... : unable to load package 
`array-0.1.0.0'
*Main>

Is this just my system, or do other people have similar problems?

Any known solutions?

I think this is a known problem, but I haven't had time to figure out  
what's going on. Basically the configure script should add a  
dependency to the packages that were separated in ghc 6.8 and only do  
that from version 6.8 onwards as these extra packages don't exist in  
6.6. However, this is done in configure but obviously doesn't work. See:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/gtk2hs/ticket/1102

Any investigators into this problems are welcome!
