[Haskell-beginners] failure $ cabal install wx

[Jeffrey Brown]

Hi!

I first sent this to Haskell-Cafe, then thought this would be a better
destination.

I switched OSs, from Ubuntu to OpenSuse 13.2, to fix some other problems. I
since installed The Haskell Platform, and would like to install wxHaskell.

The first time I tried that under OpenSuse, cabal install wx provided more
output, installing a lot of things. Since then it has only given this:

The file /usr/bin/wx-config exists. It may have gotten there today when I
installed some wx packages via zypper (OpenSuse's equivalent to apt-get). I
don't remember which those packages were, but in the wx-configg file appear
these lines:

    this_version="3.0"
    [ -z "$output_option_release"       ] || echo "3.0"
    [ -z "$output_option_version"       ] || echo "3.0.2"
    [ -z "$output_option_version_full"  ] || echo "3.0.2.0"

so I believe the version of wx I have is 3.0.2.0.

I'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 535 or 545.

Thanks,
Jeff
