hi,

I am a beginner to haskell.

I am trying to install glut using "cabal install glut" Pasting here a tail of the output

...

checking for GLUT/glut.h... no configure: error: no GLUT header found, so this package cannot be built See `config.log' for more details.

...

But I do have "glut.h" in my "D:\ghc\ghc-6.10.2\include\mingw\GL".

Define the environment variable: C_INCLUDE_PATH=D:\ghc\ghc-6.10.2\include\mingw (you can add more directories, separate them by ';') To let the linker find the libraries, define LIBRARY_PATH.

Hmm, that is annoying. I've filed a tracker bug here: http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/11 and also noted the issue here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/458#comment:2 Duncan
