I don't have a libmaxent.so, the maxent library in at /usr/local/ lib/libmaxent.a Can I somhow use my package with GHCi?
No, you need the .so. GHCi can't load static .a libraries. If you really have no way to get a .so, then it is possible to create a .o from the .a that GHCi can load using 'ld --whole-archive', but you're into hacker territory there.
Alternately, just extract the contents of the .a into a subdirectory and explicitly load them: mkdir libmaxent cd libmaxent ar x /usr/local/lib/libmaxent.a cd .. ghci (...) libmaxent/*.o -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
