I can't even get a simple example to show up in a PDF file
I can't even get my simple example to show up anywhere, period. PDF,
DVI, PS - anything.
No matter which way I try, and I've tried lots, I always hit some kind
of PostScript or TeX error. My Haskell file is attached.
I asked about it on the tex-live mailing list, and I got this
response, advising me to speak to the author:

No, it was generated by MetaPost. Here are the sequence of commands I used:
FuncMP.mp is the culprit here. It alters MetaPost's output via explicit special command so that it is no longer acceptable to the mptopdf converter.
I suggest you rename the file to figure1.eps (and run epstopdf on it before inclusion in your latex document)
"epstopdf figure1.eps" outputs this error:
Error: /undefined in cmmi10
If the document was was 'plain' metapost input, it would actually have been possible to fix this in texlive 2008 by adding prologues:=3; at the top of the figure1.mp file. However, FuncMP.mp has redefined (via specials) the PostScript commands like /fshow etc,. so this won't work. Also, it seems to be altering the label typesetting so that it uses metafont bitmap (pk) fonts instead of type1. My advice is to look into the functional metapost documentation or ask its author for help and guidelines on how to use the result images in pdftex (as opposed to dvips/xdvi). Best wishes, Taco
