Hi, This is resolved now. The error message was misleading but running cabal install with --verbose=3 helped:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++ Turned out g++ package was missing, after installing it wxcore built and installed fine. As for the misleading "missing libraries" message produced by cabal, apparently this or a similar issue is already recognised: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/648 so I won't be raising it against cabal for now.
