I tried to run the opengl examples found in the repo (examples/lesson3b.hs). With self-compiled haskell-platform, ghc 7.0. 4 on ubuntu 10.10, the examples kept reporting compile error of "ambiguous occurrence". The conflict came from "> import Graphics.Rendering.OpenGL" and "> import Graphics.UI.GLUT". Interestingly all other running codes started reporting such errors after GLUtil was installed. It does seem to me that installing GLUtil lead to the error.

Any thoughts? Also could you provide more detail on what environment you were testing your examples with? Thanks!
