[Haskell-beginners] wxHaskell install errors

[carlos gomez]

Is your wx-config working ?
You can try:  *wx-config –help*

If not, try with another, you can use these ones:

-   download from https://sites.google.com/site/wxconfig/sourcecode
    and compile with g++ wx-config.cpp -o wx-config.exe
-   or download directly the .exe from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxhaskell/files/wx-config-win/

Carlos Gomez
