[Haskell-cafe] platform configure fails to find freeglut

[J. Greg Davidson]

I'm trying to install haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2 on
    OpenSuse 11.2 Gnu/Linux 2.6.27.39-0.2-default #1 SMP x86_64
My currently installed packages include
    ghc-6.10.4-5.7
    freeglut-080721-20.2.1
    ghc-GLUT-doc-2.1.2.0-1.13
    ghc-GLUT-devel-2.1.2.0-1.13
    ghc-GLUT-prof-2.1.2.0-1.13
When I try to ./configure I get
    checking GL/glut.h usability... no
    checking GL/glut.h presence... no
    checking for GL/glut.h... no
    configure: error: The GLUT C library is required

One would think that with all of this good glut stuff I have installed
the configure script would be satisfied, but it's not.  Searching for
answers only turned up other people with the same problem.  Can someone
assist me in fixing the problem?

BTW - is there an official bug repository for the Haskell Platoform?
I couldn't find that either, and I think it's very important!

Thanks,

_Greg
