Hi Venanzio,

I found the following sites very helpful when trying to understand
OpenGL + Haskell.

- http://blog.mikael.johanssons.org/archive/2006/09/opengl-programming-in-haskell-a-tutorial-part-1/
- http://myawesomeblag.blogspot.com/2007/03/opengl-tetris-in-haskell.html

My site contains the commands I used to get everything install on
Ubuntu, it also has a link to my code on it, but you'll find that the
code is very similar to Mikael's above.

Good luck.

Tom
