is there, by chance, a file named Prelude.hs in the working directory? (the directory you are in when you type ghci?) - jeremy

Ah. Thanks! That was indeed the problem.

Though I think ghci:s response could be a little bit more transparent.

Sure, how about this:

$ touch Prelude.hs $ ghci GHCi, version 6.12.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done. Loading package base ... linking ... done. Loading package ffi-1.0 ... linking ... done. Prelude>

ie. with 6.12.1 it just works.

Brilliant! Thanks. Josef
