I did get the Haskell Graphics Library to work on my Solaris
system (Solaris 7).  It just assumes that if you have such a
system, you know how to tweak their Makefile to make it build
you a dynamically loadable library.

So it took me a bit of studying of some man pages and stuff,
but here's what worked for me (I'm using gcc on Solaris; I don't
have a copy of the Sun C compiler so I can't tell ya how to get
that to work).   The only changes I had to make were in the
x11/Makefile:

diff -c -r HGL_graphics_orig/graphics-2.0.3/lib/x11/Makefile 
graphics-2.0.3/lib/x11/Makefile

See http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/hugs-users.
However, they tell me that hugs-bugs is a more appropriate
place for platform-specific questions.  See
http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/hugs-bugs

Hope this helps,
