I've been compiling the latest GHC snapshot
(6.4.1.20050827) from source and have encountered some
annoying problems with the configure script not being
as intelligent as it should be.  This is on a GNU/Linux
system running Debian unstable.  Initially I didn't
have the openGL GLU headers installed so I got a
compile error when the "glu.h" file wasn't found.  I
believe that since the GLU library was installed, the
configure script assumed that the GLU header file would
be there -- or else it didn't check.  Installing the
GLU header files fixed this.   Then I got a weird bug
while compiling the openAL support in GHC:

As a result, I disabled openAL support.
