Hi folks I thought I'd try a bit of OpenGL. Perhaps I should send this to the more specific list, but perhaps other people are, like me, trying out a variety of UI technology. I thought I'd give OpenGL a go, because I saw the name whizz by when I upgraded to 6.8.3. I found the tutorial and got copy-paste cracking. It was all going swimmingly while I did almost nothing, but then ghc started dying on me. I chopped down my failing code to this joyous specimen: HelloWorld.lhs contains ----------------------------------
module Main where
import Graphics.Rendering.OpenGL import Graphics.UI.GLUT
myFloat :: GLfloat myFloat = 0.0
main = return ()
---------------------------------- $ ghc -package GLUT HelloWorld.lhs -o HelloWorld Illegal instruction I'm using ghc 6.8.3 on a Mac PowerBook G4. Googling "OpenGL illegal instruction" produced an unending choice of horror stories. What message am I not getting? Is there some crucial manual I'm not reading? Is there something which we should be being told on the relevant wiki page? Distressed Conor
