I have fixed the issue on my end. The compiler was apparently confused by the following import lines : import qualified Graphics.UI.Gtk as G import qualified Graphics.UI.Gtk.Gdk.Events as G I changed the first to : import qualified Graphics.UI.Gtk as Gtk and make subsequent changes to the file System/Vacuum/Cairo.hs A patch file is included. -deech On Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 4:04 PM, aditya siram wrote:
