[Haskell-cafe] installation problems: wx, phooey, checkers

[Jeffrey Brown]

I believe I have wxWidgets installed, because when I go to the demos/ or
samples/ subfolders of ~/wxWidgets-3.0.2/build-cocoa-debug/, I can run the
apps. Now I want to install the phooey library for Haskell. When I try, I
am warned that some things will be broken, so I unregister them and then
cabal install them all at once. (The complete output from my session with
cabal appears below.)

I run cabal from ~/wxWidgets, because that folder contains the files
wx-config-inplace.in
wx-config.in
and I know cabal wants wx-config.

The two errors I get:
wx-config is not found
checkers does not install

I am left stumped. Thanks for your help.

In order, the following would be installed:
mtl-1.1.1.1 (latest: 2.2.1) (new version)
parsec-3.1.7 (reinstall) changes: mtl-2.2.1 -> 1.1.1.1
reactive-0.5.0.1 (latest: 0.11.5) (new package)
wxdirect-0.91.0.0 (reinstall)
wxc-0.91.0.0 (new package)
wxcore-0.91.0.0 (new package)
wx-0.91.0.0 (new package)
phooey-2.0.0.1 (new package)
cabal: The following packages are likely to be broken by the reinstalls:
tidal-0.4.21
network-uri-2.6.0.1
threepenny-gui-0.5.0.0
hmt-0.15
Use --force-reinstalls if you want to install anyway.

    Possible fix:
      add (Eq a) to the context of
        the type signature for
          nonZero :: (Num a, Arbitrary a) => Gen a -> Gen a
    In the first argument of ‘satisfiesM’, namely ‘(/= 0)’

      satisfiesM (/= 0) (if (s == 0) then (resize 1 g) else g)

      ‘(\ s -> satisfiesM (/= 0) (if (s == 0) then (resize 1 g) else g))’
