This looks quite odd. There appear to be three things wrong. The ghc installation appears to be missing the haskell98 package. Then the gtk2hs seems to not be installing the cairo package and to top it all off one of the package files (probably the gtk package) seems to be messed up.

What is the result of the following command:

$ ghc-pkg list

Do you have cairo installed? What version of Gtk+ have you got there?

[Comment 2 Duncan Coutts (RETIRED) 2006-02-15 02:28:00 UTC]

I've had another report of the same behaviour. That was with ghc-6.2.2.

Anatoly, which ghc version were you using when you found this problem with gtk2hs?

[Comment 3 Anatoly Yakovenko 2006-02-15 11:35:47 UTC]

just emerged 
dev-haskell/gtk2hs-0.9.10  -doc -firefox +glade -gnome -mozilla
with 
dev-lang/ghc-6.4.1-r1  -doc +opengl
without any problems

[Comment 4 Duncan Coutts (RETIRED) 2006-02-15 15:40:38 UTC]

Do you think last time - the time when it faild - you were using ghc-6.2.2 or ghc-6.4.1 ?

[Comment 5 Anatoly Yakovenko 2006-02-15 16:04:34 UTC]

i think i was using 6.2.1 at the time.  

[Comment 6 Duncan Coutts (RETIRED) 2006-02-15 16:24:45 UTC]

Thanks Anatoly. I'll try reproducing that with ghc 6.2.x. I'm glad it's working for you now with ghc 6.4.x

[Comment 7 Duncan Coutts (RETIRED) 2006-02-18 11:08:56 UTC]

Ok, I've reprduced this bug. I'm investigating.

[Comment 8 Duncan Coutts (RETIRED) 2006-02-20 10:30:51 UTC]

Fixed. The updated ebuild is now in portage.

Thanks for the report Anatoly.
