Hmmmm, that's definitely no solution. What platform exactly are you
using? (ghc used for building, gcc version, etc.) Calling make with

    EXTRA_HC_OPTS="-v -keep-tmp-files"

and sending the output plus the generated *.hscpp file might help. I
guess that something goes wrong during the preprocessing stage. On a
non-WinDoze platform the last lines of Extensions.hs should expand
into:

    foreign import ccall unsafe "glXGetProcAddressARB" glXGetProcAddressARB ::
       CString -> IO (FunPtr a)

On WinDoze they should expand into:

    foreign import stdcall unsafe "wglGetProcAddress" glXGetProcAddressARB ::
       CString -> IO (FunPtr a)

Cheers,
