The binary distribution http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.6/ghc-6.6-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 does not contain libHSghc.* So I get: Loading package ghc-6.6 ... ghc-6.6: can't load .so/.DLL for: HSghc (libHSghc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) C. Bas van Dijk schrieb:
Dear GHC hackers,
I would like to experiment with the GHC API. However I get link errors when using it. For example:
--------------------------------------------------------------------- $ ghci -package ghc ___ ___ _ / _ \ /\ /\/ __(_) / /_\// /_/ / / | | GHC Interactive, version 6.6, for Haskell 98. / /_\\/ __ / /___| | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ \____/\/ /_/\____/|_| Type :? for help.

I also get this when compiling for example the following module testGHC.hs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------- module Main where
import qualified GHC import DynFlags (defaultDynFlags)
main = GHC.defaultErrorHandler defaultDynFlags $ putStrLn "Hello World" ---------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to know what is causing this and how I can fix it? Also, should I file a bugreport?
