So this does look like the Gtk+ libraries not being compatible with  
what ghc produces. I don't think I can help here since I do not have  
Snow Leopard. You would need to check if the Gtk+ libraries "pkg- 
config --libs gtk+-2.0" are only available in 32-bit, say, and that  
ghc will produce 64-bit executables. I'm only guessing, though.

Maybe the ghc people can say what should happen and confirm that all C  
libraries must be available in 64-bit if they're linked to from  
Haskell on Snow Leopard?

Cheers,
Axel
