Description of problem: When GLUT is called from within ghci it fails to link because the dependency on libglut is not mentioned in the package registration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ghc-GLUT-devel-2.1.1.2-2.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: $ ghci > import Graphics.UI.GLUT > getArgsAndInitialize Actual results: Loading package GLUT-2.1.1.2 ... linking ... <interactive>: /usr/lib64/ghc-6.10.4/GLUT-2.1.1.2/HSGLUT-2.1.1.2.o: unknown symbol `glutGet' ghc: unable to load package `GLUT-2.1.1.2' Expected results: Loading package GLUT-2.1.1.2 ... linking ... done. ("<interactive>",[]) Additional info: If the file /usr/lib64/ghc-6.10.3/GLUT-2.1.1.2/register.sh is edited to append "glut" to the line that says "extra-libraries:" and then the package is unregistered and reregistered, the error goes away.
Also happens in F13 with ghc-6.12.1.
Assuming this is GLUT specific then I think this may be an upstream issue would be good to report to the mailing-list/Sven.
GLUT-2.2.2.0 seems ok: $ cabal install GLUT-2.2.2.0 $ ghci -package GLUT-2.2.2.0 : Seems it was fixed in GLUT-2.2.1.0. It should be straightforward to patch GLUT.cabal to fix this.
