[Haskell-cafe] Installing wx via cabal

[Jeremy O'Donoghue]

Hi Dusan,

I've never seen this problem, and I have far less than 16GB (it works
for me on a 2MB Windows XP laptop). One thing I have never tried is
compiling on a 64 bit system.

Can you tell me any more about your system (Windows/Mac/Linux, 32 or 64
bit OS). GHC 6.10.4 (which is the version I assume you mean) is supposed
to be supported.

You can mail me off-list to investigate further, as details may not be
so interesting to list subscribers. If we find anything significant, we
can post this to list later.

Regards
Jeremy
