Hi Haskeleers I am trying to track down the cause of an error occurring in the Linux version of wxHaskell. The error occurs before the main function is executed. That is, it occurs if one imports the wxHaskell libraries, and it occurs even if one do not execute any wxHaskell function. Specifically, GLib complains that a initialization-function has not been called.
My guess is, that it has something to do with the wxWidgets (and gtk or glib) libraries wxHaskell links to. Some people have suggested it may be an error in the way GHC links with C libraries. But that is all guesswork, I would need something more solid if I were to file GHC bugreport. Here is a simple Haskell program to illustrate the problem: module Main where import Graphics.UI.WX main = print "sdfjkl" and when we compile and execute this program we get: (process:13986): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2240: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:13986): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_cursor_new_for_display: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed (process:13986): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2240: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:13986): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_cursor_new_for_display: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed "sdfjkl" So even if I do not call any wxHaskell functions, just by linking to wxHaskell, I get these errors. As Jeroen Janssen reports here http://www.mail-archive.com/wxhaskell-us...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00540.html , he is experiencing the same error, but his wxPython programs works. Thus, wxHaskell (or GHC or ...) must do something different. Could this error be related to the order which external libraries are loaded in? If so, do anybody know how to specify the load order? Can anybody help med with a good approach for debugging this error?
