  In flux compactifications of M-theory a superpotential is generated whose
explicit form depends on the structure group of the 7-dimensional internal
manifold. In this note, we discuss superpotentials for the structure groups:
G_2, SU(3) or SU(2). For the G_2 case all internal fluxes have to vanish. For
SU(3) structures, the non-zero flux components entering the superpotential
describe an effective 1-dimensional model and a Chern-Simons model if there are
SU(2) structures.
