That is probably the problem. I did not see all messages of this thread,
but one should indeed use "--with-opengl" on wxHaskell configure if wxWidgets
was build with "--with-opengl".

Unfortunately, due to wxWidgets changes, I can not automatically detect the
need for this flag, but I promise to discuss it with the wxWidgets devs.

fyi. it seems ghci can not handle stripped dynamic libraries on windows, but
that may be due to the use of both a *.dll and an "import" library *.a.
Funnily enough, ghc can handle link with those.  (I haven't tested extensively
though, and it might be related with the use of the upx packer).

All the best,
  Daan.
