Do you need to say -lclntsh when you use ghc to compile?

Ah, I see, I must run both GHCi and GHC with -package Takusen and everything is fine.

This still doesn't seem right. Both ghci and ghc --make should automatically link the package. The only time you should need to use -package is in ghc "batch" mode i.e. ghc sans --make.

I actually called GHC without --make because the example program consists of only one (the main) module.

Yes... I've had a quick look at the instant client packages. The SDK zip just puts the headers under instantclient_10_2/sdk/include (which is still not $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/public, but c'est la vie). So it looks like the .rpm puts them somewhere completely different: /usr/include/oracle/10.2.0.4/client. Do you also have $ORACLE_HOME/sdk/include, with headers in?

No, in ORACLE_HOME there is only 'bin' and 'lib'.
