I'm not so familiar with NixOS - I did my testing on an Ubuntu 10.4 VMWare
image. However, I have built wxWidgets more often than I care to think
about.

To solve the particular issue you have, you need '--enable-mediactrl' in
your configure script for wxWidgets.

I think you probably want something like the following if you want all of
the wxHaskell features:

./configure --enable-unicode --enable-html --enable-xrc --enable-aui
--enable-stc --enable-mediactrl --enable-richtext --with-gtk=2 --with-opengl

Hope this helps.

Best regards
Jeremy
