[wxhaskell-users] Variable not in scope at examples-compilation

[Benjamin K. <mis...@we...>]

I am interested in Haskell mainly because of wxHaskell. So my situation 
is that I know little about Haskell and little about wxHaskell but want 
to learn both as fast as possible.

After downloading and installing ghc-6.0.1 and wxhaskell-0.4 (.dmg 
version for mac - I'm using Mac OS X 10.2.8 Jaguar) I tried to compile 
the examples in the wx, wxcore and contrib-directorys. Some worked fine 
(contrib: Camels.hs, wx: BouncingBalls.hs, HelloWorld.hs, Minimal.hs, 
TimeFlows.hs, wxcore: ByeDemo.hs, ImageViewer.hs, Paint.hs) others not. 
The errors I got looked like this:

	Layout.hs:18: Variable not in scope: `alignment'
	Layout.hs:19: Variable not in scope: `alignment'

But when I tried to help myself the dirty way (remove the 
alignment-assignments) I got the following errors:

	Layout.hs:18:
	    Couldn't match `IO' against `(->) [Prop (TextCtrl ())]'
	        Expected type: IO t
	        Inferred type: [Prop (TextCtrl ())] -> IO (TextCtrl ())
	    Probable cause: `textEntry' is applied to too few arguments in the 
call
	        (textEntry p [text := "100"])
	    In a 'do' expression: xinput <- textEntry p [text := "100"]

This is how I called ghc from the shell:

	ghc -package wx -o layout Layout.hs

What's my fault (except from my dirty methods and my impatience)?

wxHaskell 0.4 is old, close to antique (about 2 years old now). I don't 
know if it's the source of your problems but will probably have better 
luck with a newer version. It might be a good idea to upgrade any way. 
There exists .dmg-version for wxHaskell 0.9.4, which is the latest 
released, both for ghc 6.2.2 and 6.4.
