The easiest way to run Haskell software from a C program is to give the shell command: runhaskell Foo.hs
I'm a newbie but not that new :) I really have to be able to interpret the Haskell from within the same process. A more advanced way is, to link Haskell libraries by means of the foreign
function interface (FFI) [1]. There are several tools to support FFI development [2]. I am sure my list of URL's is not complete.

My understanding is that FFI helps you to call into other languages from Haskell and vice-versa. I will definitely need this, but what I can't figure out how to do is to invoke the ghci or hugs interpreter programmatically, in-process. I didn't see a way to do that in the links you listed, am I missing something? Much thanks, Brock Peabody
