As HGL uses X-Windows, you have to start /Programs/Utilities/X11.app
before using HGL.

Here is a terminal transcript of testing whether HGL works in ghci.

localhost:~ apfelmus$ ghci

Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> :m +Graphics.HGL
Prelude Graphics.HGL> runGraphics $ withWindow_ "Hello World" (300,200)
getKey
Loading package X11-1.1 ... linking ... done.
Loading package HGL-3.1 ... linking ... done.

A window should appear.
