grapefruit on windows or osX

I'm unable to get grapefruit going on osx or windows because (I think) I can't get the underlying GTK installed. Most recently I can't install gtk2hs over 6.10.4 because the installer tells me my haskell install isn't working and I should reinstall 6.10.1. It invites me to continue anyway and fix the DLL path myself. I continued and it doesn't work; cabal install grapefruit-ui-gtk still fails because it can't find a version of 'gtk'. The gtk demo program does work. Is the situation impossible, or do I just have to somehow tell something about some path? Hope that's all clear, and thanks in advance.

If you are using binary gtk2hs installer for windows, then you have to
install the same ghc version the installer was built for.
As I know there are no gtk2hs build for ghc-6.10.4. You can build it
manually (using msys), but it is complicated task.

Hi, thank you for giving Grapefruit a try. Yes, you are most likely right that Gtk2Hs is the stumbling block. Grapefruit itself doesn’t do anything OS-specific, and since it works on Linux, it should also work on OS X. I strongly suggest that you try out the current development version of Grapefruit instead of the version on Hackage, since the latter is lacking a bunch of features. If you have any Grapefruit-related questions, please ask here or on the Grapefruit mailing list. Best wishes, Wolfgang
