The only problem now is that I want to distribute a wxHaskell application on mac OS X. I tried using macosx-app and cabal-macosx (https://github.com/michaelt/cabal-macosx) to make an "app" file. It runs fine on my machine, but it fails to run on another computer. I get the following error:

Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: /Users/eduardo/.cabal/lib/wxc-0.90.1.0/ghc-7.6.3/libwxc.dylib.

What would be the best way to redistribute wxHaskell apps?

This sounds like cabal-macosx was not updated to handle dynamic GHC libraries. (GHC used to default to static; OS X was one of the first platforms to switch to default dynamic.) I know in theory how to deal with this (copy the necessary libraries into the app bundle and use install_name_tool to adjust the references to be bundle-relative) but could not give you exact details.
