So this is the behaviour whenever Haskell is the first program to be
installed that
supplies GLUT? If so, I am sorry for the hassle. It would be better if the
message
would be changed to something like:
"It looks like GLUT isn't installed on your computer. Do you want to
install GLUT?"
Or if there were an option in the component selection page to install
GLUT, which
would install GLUT if it were missing.
