I don't have that either. I thus conclude, that you don't need it and it doesn't seem to be the source of your problem.

Which version of Cabal (note: the library, not the tool cabal-install) do you have installed? You can check that by running "ghc-pkg list" from the command line.
Maybe it's a problem with your package database (you can check by running "ghc-pkg check" and if it is broken you can try "ghc-pkg recache").

Yes, I did just this. Using your flags all of wxWidgets compile, and all samples run.

But I note that the wiki page for wxHaskell says to have a cabal/wxc-xxx/ghcversion

On the path, but I don't have any such directory in my cabal (although I did set the path...).
There is a wxdirect-0.90.0.1 installed there, nothing else new of "wx*".

Trying to do the cabal installs, I used the version 21 of wx-config, and still get these errors:

   E:\Plang\Libraries\wxWidgets2.9>cabal install wxc

   Configuring wxc to build against wxWidgets 2.9

   setup.exe: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
   * Missing C libraries: wxmsw29ud_all, wxmsw29ud
   This problem can usually be solved by installing the system packages that
   provide these libraries (you may need the "-dev" versions). If the libraries
   are already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
   flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where they are.
   cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
   wxc-0.90.0.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
   ExitFailure 1

Using your FLAGS did help in the build of wxWidgets, now all of the samples compile and run.

Upgrading to version 26 of wx-config changes the errors to this:
