[Haskell-cafe] Re: [Haskell] Woes on MacOS 10.6 - linking issues

[Pepe Iborra]

(moving to the cafe)

There is an incompatibility between the version of iconv in Mac Os and
the one included in MacPorts.
As the RTS of the build of ghc in the Haskell Platform is linked
against Mac Os iconv, you cannot use it with the build of gtk2hs from
MacPorts.

This is a known issue already commented elsewhere, in case you haven't
found it already:
