[Haskell-beginners] Installing Gtk2hs

[Colin Paul Adams]

The install instructions seem very straight-forward, but they are not
working for me.

I did:

./configure --enable-docs --disable-deprecated
make
su -c'make install'

but the demos won't compile (they can't find the libraries).

checking the stderr from make shows:

on the commandline:
    Warning: -fffi is deprecated: use -XForeignFunctionInterface or pragma {-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface#-} instead

make[1]: *** [glib/System/Glib.o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

My environment is Fedora 10 (64-bit). Ghc 6.10.1.

Any suggestions?
