[Haskell-cafe] Installing FreeGLUT

[Paul L]

GHC as of now won't be able to recognize your change to the dynamic
libraries on the fly. So if you want to use new features, you'll have
to compile GLUT package for GHC freshly on top of your new freeglut.
Get the GLUT source from hackage.haskell.org and do the cabal
installation. GHC will then be able to recognize the freeglut, at
least confirmed by experiments on my Linux box a few days ago.

Paul L
