Hello Brandon and Haskell-cafe,

(Sorry for the delayed reply...)
These seem to be the relevant lines from "configure" of OpenGL package.

checking GL/gl.h usability... yes
checking GL/gl.h presence... yes
checking for GL/gl.h... yes
checking OpenGL/gl.h usability... no
checking OpenGL/gl.h presence... no
checking for OpenGL/gl.h... no
checking GL/glu.h usability... yes
checking GL/glu.h presence... yes
checking for GL/glu.h... yes
checking OpenGL/glu.h usability... no
checking OpenGL/glu.h presence... no
checking for OpenGL/glu.h... no

That looks like to me that the gl.h and glu.h header files were found and are usable (in some cases). I am able to build and install OpenGL and GLUT packages for Haskell, but many errors occur as seen below during linking. I still can't seem to figure out what is causing these linker errors...
Any other ideas? :/

Thank you.

I am trying to test do some OpenGL / GLUT programming in Haskell, but I had linker issues testing the 'Hello World' OpenGL Haskell program. I believe the linker issues were caused because the Haskell GLUT package couldn't find the GLUT C libraries that were installed with Debian packages.

You need to check config.log from the Haskell GLUT build to see why it couldn't find (or possibly couldn't link with) the GLUT library.
