Thanks Alot! I found the new updated redbook in the source code for
GHC 6.6with tons of examples. I have finally gotten the samples to
compile and run,
looks like clear sailing from here.

Regarding Chris' post -
I ran into a lot of problems too since there are old versions of HOpenGL and corresponding examples floating around out there with differing advice, such as at http://www.haskell.org/HOpenGL/. I'm not sure why it hasn't been updated since it's off of the main haskell.org.
I admit being guilty here of not upating that site for a very long time. My amount of time I can work on HOpenGL varies quite a bit depending on my Real Life (tm) ;-), I think it might be a good idea to move the stuff to the Haskell Wiki, so it is easier to keep things up-to-date, integrate more examples/tutorials/etc. I'll think about that...
There are some sites that include a lot of Red Book examples that should just compile and work with the method I gave (such as ghc --make Planet.hs). Anyone know a reason why some tutorials use the -package GLUT option?
The OpenGL/GLUT packages are exposed by default, so there is no need to specify them explicitly, unless you are manually compiling and linking. This is explained in detail at:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/packages.html#using-...
So the easiest way to use all OpenGL/GLUT stuff is importing Graphics.UI.GLUT and using "ghc --make". A single import, no special options...
Try some of these links:
This should have the newer examples (can anyone tell me if there are any better sites than this?)
http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/fptools/libraries/GLUT
/examples/RedBook/ [...]
The OpenGL/GLUT packages are now under darcs control instead of CVS, so the latest and greatest examples are available at:
http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/GLUT/examples/
If you use Hugs, it may already ship with all the examples, e.g. at:
/usr/lib/hugs/demos/GLUT
