This was mentioned on the yi-devel list
<http://groups.google.com/group/yi-devel/browse_frm/thread/392c3cd612490b1a/c304d54ffc000e4a?lnk=gst&q=HSgtk.o%3A+unknown+symbol&#>
but didn't cause much excitement as it's not clear whose
problem it is, so I'll ask here as well:

I recently downloaded yi-0.3 and tried to build it, but get 

Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Loading package array-0.1.0.0 ... linking ... done.
Loading package bytestring-0.9.0.1 ... linking ... done.

Loading package gtk-0.9.12.1 ... linking ... yi: exception :: GhcException

for any attempted invocation of yi.  I don't know whether
this problem is specific to yi, to gtk2hs or to the fedora 8
rpm of gtk2hs or something else (ghc 6.8.2). I tried to rpm
--rebuild the gtk2hs source rpm, but the build failed,
complaining of missing documentation files (the spec file
can't be right, or I'd have seen an unsatisfied
build-dependency message instead). What's the next step?
