I reinstalled Gtk* but switched the folder from Program Files (x86) to Program Files...

I'm sorry, you misunderstood me. Please make sure you read my second last post about "Program Files" on Windows 7. I *think* it's no good idea to have both "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" folders.
Type

dir c:\

in the console. Then you see the *real* folders, unsugared. In Windows explorer or other dialogs, they are sugared, i.e. "Program Files (x86)" may appear as "Program Files". When you refer to them in Environment variables, I *guess* you have to use the *real* names again, like printed in the console. But I currently cannot verify this because at home I have only Win XP. But a little experiment should help you there.

When I wrote "pkg-config.exe should be in C:\Program Files\Gtk+\bin" in my last post, I meant the bin folder of the Gtk+ installation, no matter where it is in your installation.

Regards
Tim

I changed all my environment variables to remove Program Files (x86)...

Unfortunately, it once again doesn't see the five original directories...see following:

* Missing C libraries: z, cairo
* Missing C libraries: gobject-2.0, glib-2.0, intl

Got me...it seems like the cabal system should know where everything is going to be installed - then it should only have a dependency on the environment variables if it can't find its files in the default locations...

Do you think it would be worthwhile trying an installation using Program Files (x86) rather than Program Files [remember, on my PC , when doing the gtk installation it wants to do it in Program Files (x86)]

Good weekend

I hate to tell you this, but gtk* is being installed in Program Files (x86) and not in Program Files...
I'll try it again...

Good afternoon,
    I uninstalled both Gtk+s...
    I ran the command again and the previous errors no longer appear - thank you.
    However, I still get one error, see following: it is: setup.exe: pkg-config version >=0.9.0 is required but it could not be found.
    Please see following.
Good weekend

Hi Patrick,

2011/2/5 Patrick Lynch <kmandpjlynch@verizon.net>

This is what I did so far:
  1. I followed your wiki
  2. I opened Command window and entered the command: cabal install gtk
  3. It returned the error messages:
          * Missing C libraries: z, cairo
          * Missing C libraries: gobject-2.0, glib-2.0, intl
  4. I then ran the command: cabal install gtk
--extra-include-dirs="c:/Program Files/Gtk+/include"
--extra-lib-dirs="c:/Program Files/Gtk+/include"
      This returned the same error messages as indicated in step 3 above.

Step 1 should already include step 2, so I better ask if gtk2hs-buildtools
installed successfully?

If the compiler misses some libraries, it will never help to add more
include folders, because they only contain header files, not lib files. For
missing include files, you get a different error message. For libraries, you
have to set up the LIB environment variable properly. It must include the
lib folder with Gtk+. Could you show us the result of

echo %LIB%

at the prompt? The ouput of

pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0

might indicate an error as well. By the way, the environment variables at
the command prompt should the sum of those made globally and those made for
the current user.

Good luck
Tim
