hi,

I am a beginner to haskell.

I am trying to install glut using "cabal install glut"
Pasting here a tail of the output

See `config.log' for more details.

GLUT-2.1.1.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
exit: ExitFailure 1

But I do have "glut.h" in my "D:\ghc\ghc-6.10.2\include\mingw\GL".

Here is my `ghc-pkg list`
