[wxhaskell-devel] wxHaskell Problems.

[Paul-Michael S. <P.S...@un...>]

Hi Eric,

I've been trying to install the latest package of wxcore which I believe is 0.13.2.1. 

I have taken several steps to try and get it to install here is my current situation.

I'm running Debian's wheezy.
I have wxWidgets-2.9.3. built from source.

Following advise of several tutorials I got several opengl packages, some of which I already had. (I've included a full list of my packages, not sure if will be useful though)

I then tried installing the packages from hackage through cabal.

This failed giving me missing functions or undefined functions in header files, I forget the exact message.


So after reading a blog post, I think it was your own talking about Debian and wxHaskell. I decided to use the repository on darcsden. I've forked and pulled the repository. After  running "cabal install" in in the wx folder I get this error

I hope I've provided enough information to help you get a sense of the problem.
Thanks for your time,
