so the solution turns out to be (for those who are macports users) to build of the macports stuff related gtk2 et al as the variants +universal (sadly parts of +quartz and +no_x11 seems to be slightly broken), to make sure that macports also has built gtksourceview2 (somehow trying to use gtksourceview would break things) and also follow the directions in http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Gtk2Hs#Using_MacPorts_and_Snow_Leopard which help a bit despite being complicated... (oh and the macports directory mentioned in that link it should be /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf rather than /opt/local/macports/variants.conf) so that On Sun, Mar 14, 2010 at 6:46 AM, Carter Schonwald < carter.schonwald@gmail.com> wrote:
hrm... I'm encountering a whole slew of problems getting gtk2hs to build now, might be snow leopard related

is the relevant message at the end. I think i'm going to call it a night

Those are not MacPorts libraries, but Haskell libraries. And they're all provided by the Haskell gtk2hs package, which at the moment isn't Cabal-ized, so Cabal can't find them unless gtk2hs has been installed manually.

with my original install info being cabal-install version 0.6.4
using version 1.6.0.3 of the Cabal library
here is an example transcript

Resolving dependencies...
cabal: cannot configure Hieroglyph-3.89. It requires cairo -any, glib
-any,
gtk >=0.10.0 and gtkglext -any
There is no available version of cairo that satisfies -any
There is no available version of glib that satisfies -any
There is no available version of gtk that satisfies >=0.10.0
There is no available version of gtkglext that satisfies -any
is there something obvious that i'm overlooking or is this a funny unfixed corner of cabal?
