?? Why would you give up on wxHaskell? :-) Seriously, if you
have real problems, please tell me so and we can see what
to do about it.

Hmm, when I do "ghc --version" it says:

 > The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.4

I guessed tis means 6.4.0 and that 6.4.1 is the current
development version of ghc. I plan to only release binary
versions for stable versions of ghc -- people with development
versions of ghc are usually able to build wxHaskell themselves.

The latest development version of GHC works out of the box
with wxHaskell as it has real bugfixes that fix the current
problems on windows (while my bugfix release works around it).
