Bummer. I was hoping to be able to use 6.8.1 with gtk2hs (AFAIUI, gtk2hs doesn't work with/hasn't been compiled against 6.8.2 yet). Is there a workaround or something I can tweak in my 6.8.1 installation? It's much easier to gently prod Duncan until he gives in and releases a new gtk2hs version.
Maybe... the fact that I don't have this problem with 6.8.1 on my laptop implies that there *might* be something external to ghc that I can change that would fix it.
I assume the bug you're encountering is this one: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1828 in which case the workaround is not to install GHC to a patch containing spaces. If it's not that bug, then we'll have to investigate further. Cheers, Simon
