I can reproduce this on openSUSE x86_64 with Misc/ARBOcclude from the GLUT 
examples, too: Compiling + runnning works, loading the example into GHCi and 
evaluation main leads to "freeglut (<interactive>): font 0x40c79328 not 
found". I'll take a look when I find some time, but I am not 100% sure if this 
a bug in the GLUT package or GHCi. Has this been cross-posted to ghc-bugs?
