Re: [wxhaskell-users] GTK initialization failure

[Chris C. <chr...@gm...>]

I have the same problem as these two.  I am running ubuntu 8.10.  To answer
Mads Lindstrom's question, ubuntu says I have version 2.13.4-0ubuntu1 of
libgtk2.0 and libgtk2.0-dev.  I also have libgtk1.2 installed (though not
the dev files).

I have been able to successfully run this hello world tutorial program from
the wxwidgets website:

http://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/tutorials/hworld.txt

So, I think the problem is not with wxwidgets itself.
