Comment (by George):

 Replying to [comment:4 trommler]:
 > Hmm, this issue is different. In #10322 we are linking temporary shared
 libraries. Here the problem is that the shared library for package GLUT
 cannot be loaded because of a missing symbol.

 Not sure if this helps but from https://github.com/haskell-
 opengl/GLUT/issues/19:

  tried loading the OSX's GLUT.framework manually:
  $ ghci -framework GLUT -package GLUT
  but it produces the same error message.

  ghci -framework GLUT -package GLUT
  GHCi, version 7.10.1.20150612: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

  To be sure I checked the OSX's GLUT.framework, it does contain the
 _glutBitmap8By13 symbol.
