Can anyone tell me why ghci has this problem whereas ghc itself doesn't and how I fix it.
Thanks, Dominic.

Loading package base-1.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package hsql-1.6 ... linking ... done. Loading package hsql-mysql-1.6 ... ghc-6.4: can't load .so/.DLL for: c (/usr/lib/libc.so: invalid ELF header) [...]
It looks like the package description of hsql-mysql explicitly mentions "-lc" for linking (or something like that). Simply removing that superfluous flag should fix the problem, but I'm only guessing here, as I've never used that package. Cheers, S.
