Comment(by carter):
i'm not sure you can replicate it with a vanilla os x install (which has
to have x11 and Xcode installed presumable), or at least I don't know how,
in a context less complicated than using gtk related tools. maybe if you
build cairo and the rest of the gtk tools with the extra include and lib
dirs being /usr/x11/lib and /usr/x11/include , you can replicate the
problem. If need be I'll test that out this evening, but I can't right
now.
i know that if you follow all the steps in
https://gist.github.com/1655271 but don't install/build libfreetype as it
suggests, you will find you can build and use the chart and diagrams
libraries in ghci, but if you compile the same programs with ghc, they
will fail.
