I filed a bug report for a compile error in the latest GHC build, but nobody
has responded to it for 4 days.  I might as well try to fix it myself, but I'm
just a functional programming and Haskell beginner.

Here's the bug I filed:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/715

Here's what the output of GHC says:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
==fptools== make all -wr -f Makefile;

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the expression:
        makeGettableStateVar $ (getInteger (Just device) CaptureSamples)
    In the definition of `captureNumSamples':
        captureNumSamples device
                            = makeGettableStateVar $ (getInteger (Just
device) CaptureSamples)
make[2]: *** [Sound/OpenAL/ALC/Capture.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ayqazi/src/packages/ghc/ghc-build/libraries'
make: *** [build] Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/home/ayqazi/src/packages/ghc/ghc-build'

Unless you need the OpenAL library, you could try configuring with --disable-openal as a workaround. I imagine the OpenAL maintainer will get to this bug in due course.

Cheers,
