You're probably correct about the dependencies. I have never tried to compile wxHaskell against GHC 6.12.1
I'm waiting for Haskell Platform to be released to make the required changes since (working primarily on Windows) I just don't have time to create a complete GHC 6.12 installation with most of the HP libraries (some of which are a pain to get working on Windows).
FYI, it also seems the current version of wxcore assumes something that isn't true about Cabal (again, I use Cabal 1.8.0.2). I just tested with ghc-6.10.4 + Cabal 1.8.0.2 + cabal-install 0.8.0 and received what is probably a well known complaint: [tommd@Mavlo ~]$ cabal install wx Resolving dependencies...
