Thanks ... that went fine, and solved the immediate problem, but now I
have another ?related error when I do "make":

Configuring OpenGL-2.2.3.0...
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-hc-pkg
configure: error: cannot find sources (include/HsOpenGL.h.in) in
/foo/bar/baz or ..
Error:
Configuring the OpenGL-2.2.3.0 package failed
make: *** [build.stamp] Error 2

where /foo/bar/baz is the name a directory that occurs in my $PATH and
nowhere else in my environment.

I do have packages/OpenGL-2.2.3.0/include/HsOpenGL.h.in
haskell-platform-2010.1.0.0, and in case it's relevant, the first
directory in my $PATH is "." (though why it looks for an include file
in my $PATH I can't imagine!).

Any further suggestions most welcome.

David
