I am following the steps outlined here but I am still getting errors related to my install of gtk Here is one of the first errors: tup\setup.exe ... Configuring cairo-0.12.0... setup.exe: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries: * Missing C libraries: z, cairo 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. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Gtk2Hs Here is the output: C:\Documents and Settings\Bot User>echo %LIB% C:\Program Files\Gtk+\lib C:\Documents and Settings\Bot User>echo %PKG_CONFIG_PATH% C:\Program Files\Gtk+\lib\pkgconfig;C:\ Program Files\Gtk+\include\libglade-2.0;C:\Program Files\libxml2\libxml2-dev_2.7.7-1_win32\lib\pkgconfig I got the install of GTK and everything worked: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/glade3/3.6/glade3-3.6.7-with-G...
