 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.
