Have you patched:

  /usr/bin/ghc   /usr/bin/ghci   /usr/bin/runhaskell   /usr/bin/runghc   /usr/bin/hsc2hs  -- discovered this one only recently

hsc2hs was new to me, the others were ok. It didn't help, though. 

Sorry to be pedantic, just to confirm, the last line of hsc2hs should read: exec /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/610/usr/lib/ghc-6.10.4/hsc2hs $tflag $HSC2HS_EXTRA --cflag="-m32" --lflag="-m32" ${1+"$@"} "$Iflag" If that doesn't work I'm stumped (haven't tried to build gtk2hs on OSX.)

with the 32-bit flags?

The relevant wiki page[1] is linking to a blog post[2] that is perhaps out of date. I think a how-to page on the wiki is called for. (Assuming we can't easily repackage the installer with updated scripts.)

Does anyone have a recipe for getting ghc + gtk2hs + gtk working on MacOSX Snow Leopard? Best regards, Arne D Halvorsen

I was able to get gtk2hs working with ghc-6.10.3 (after patching the /usr/bin scripts with -m32) by following the steps from

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Gtk2Hs#Using_the_GTK.2B_OS_X_Framework

with one change: call configure for gtk2hs as

./configure --disable-split-objs --disable-gio

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick under ghc 6.10.4 - almost. Current output: adhmac:demo arne$ cd buttonbox adhmac:buttonbox arne$ make ghc --make ButtonBox.hs -o buttonbox [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( ButtonBox.hs, ButtonBox.o ) Linking buttonbox ... ld: warning: duplicate dylib /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib ld: warning: duplicate dylib /opt/local/lib/libz.1.dylib adhmac:buttonbox arne$ ls ButtonBox.hi ButtonBox.hs ButtonBox.o Makefile buttonbox adhmac:buttonbox arne$ ./buttonbox (buttonbox:42418): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Lucida Grande 12' The buttons have boxes instead of letters, due to the font problem. So close... Arne D Halvorsen

Hope that helps, -Judah
