Is the build process documented somewhere? I casual glance about the source tree doesn't reveal anything up-to-date that includes everything you need to do (in particular, what the expected method of slurping in the libraries is).
There's some stuff at the bottom of the download page, though looking at it again, it could be improved. Basically cd hugs98/src/unix ./configure --with-fptools=<directory containing libraries and hslibs> cd .. make install If the hugs98 directory contains fptools (or a link to it) you can omit the argument to configure. The conversion doesn't change anything under the fptools directory, but it can be confused by some of the products of a GHC build (namely outputs of happy or hsc2hs), if they're lying about. You need the OpenGL development stuff installed for the OpenGL/GLUT packages to build (but it doesn't harm anything else if they don't).
This used to be nicely automated via the Makefile at the top-level - has this been kept up-to-date? The last time I tried to use it, it failed, but the problem appeared to be MacOS-specific, so I don't know if it would go through on a regular linux box or not.
I don't use it myself, but Sven has, and I think it's up to date.
