concerning wxHaskell: wxcore fails to install
Attempting to install the wxcore package yields the following result on my Arch Linux box, got the same result on an Ubuntu box: <code> cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: wxcore-0.12.1.7 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 </code> As a result, the package wx cannot be installed either. I am trying to get started with wxHaskell. Is there any way to fix this retaining one's sanity? /Fredrik

Hi Fredrik, The error message does not give many hints. Of course wxHaskell requires the wxWidgets C++ libraries. On Gentoo I had to patch wxcore: https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell/blob/master/dev-haskell/wxc... Maybe wxHaskell might install easier with the Arch Haskell packages: http://archhaskell.wordpress.com/ Regards, Mark
