[Haskell-cafe] Re: ghc-6.11 + OpenGL/GLUT crashes on WinXP

[Conal Elliott]

No display lists.  The crash happens during the GLUT call "initialize".  I
can trigger it from ghci with the following simple incantation:

     Prelude> import Graphics.UI.GLUT
     Prelude Graphics.UI.GLUT> initialize "foo" []

And no trouble under ghc 6.9.20080622.

Stumped.  :(
