The best way to do this, is to download from
   https://github.com/atzedijkstra/wxHaskell
. (This is the most up to date repository online.) Then replace the  
wxcore\Setup.hs file with the one attached to this e-mail (this has not  
been tested on non-Windows platforms). Install all wxHaskell packages from  
this repository, in the following order:
   wxdirect
   wxc
   wxcore
   wx
.
