Step 1 should already include step 2, so I better ask if
gtk2hs-buildtoolsinstalled successfully?

If the compiler misses some libraries, it will never help to add more
include folders, because they only contain header files, not lib files. For
missing include files, you get a different error message. For libraries, you
have to set up the LIB environment variable properly. It must include the
lib folder with Gtk+. Could you show us the result of

echo %LIB%

at the prompt? The ouput of

pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0

might indicate an error as well. By the way, the environment variables at
the command prompt should the sum of those made globally and those made for
the current user.

Good luck
Tim
