Strange.  I don't know what the 'h at the beginning of the error
message means, but it suggests something weird is happening.
Certainly, line 19 of the file HInteractive.hs does not have a
backquote ` character, so the message cannot be referring to that.

If you are not likely to use the 'hmake interactive' tool, then you
can easily change the build to ignore it, for instance, by commenting
out line 281 of the toplevel Makefile.
