GHCi isn't supported on x86_64 in version 6.4 (the soon-to-be-relesaed
6.4.1 will have initial support for GHCi, though).
When using the i386 build, you also need to pass additional options to
ghc:
$ ghc -opta-m32 -optc-m32 -optl-m32 ...
this tells gcc to generate i386 code when invoked by ghc.
Cheers,
Simon

Subject: [Fedora-haskell] x86_64 packages
Hi,
I am running FC3/x86_64. When I install the ghc(64)-6.4-7.x86_64
packages, ghc runs fine in batch mode, but ghci fails to work with the
following message:
$ ghci
ghc-6.4: not built for interactive use
On the other hand, when I install the i386 packages, ghci works fine but
ghc compilation fails at the assemby step:
[jcheney@dhcp-2-148]$ ghc Main.hs -o main
/tmp/ghc4976.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ghc4976.s:67: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push'
/tmp/ghc4976.s:119: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push'
/tmp/ghc4976.s:163: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push'
[etc...]
Is this a known issue? I'll try building from the source to see what
happens.
Thanks,
--James
