I could image two different origins of that problem. The first one would
 be, that GHC tries to use the object files that were generated during a
previous GHCi-session and fails at the linking step. In that case you
should remove all gerated .hi and the windows-world equivalent to object
files and try again.
The second thing that comes to my mind is that you are not using the
'--make' switch and that GHC fails to recognize and link the missing
libraries. Maybe this could also be solved by adding '-package OpenGL
-package GLUT' to the compile command.
Personally I tend to use Cabal even for small projects so it takes care
of all these technical details :-)

I hope this is of some help to you.
