[Haskell-beginners] Installing HDBC

[Kathleen Lynch]

...I got everything installed but am getting the following message:

Prelude> :module Database.HDBC.Sqlite3
<no location info>:
    Could not find module `Database.HDBC.Sqlite3':
      it is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.

...I have the file 'sqlite3' installed in the folder: 
C:\users\user\downloads\sqlite-linux-x486-3070400

I'd appreciate any help...

This returned a null result - but the "cabal install HDBC' did install HDBC.
In ghci: I can execute: :m Database.HDBC
I then downloaded Sqlite3 using:
    Precompiled Binaries For Windows
     sqlite-shell-win32-x86-3070400.zip
    (275.08 KiB)  A command-line shell for accessing and modifying SQLite
databases. This program is compatible with all versions of SQLite through
3.7.4 and beyond.
However, looks like I need to do something else, when I execute:  :m
Database.HDBC Database.HDBC.Sqlite3
it doesn't find Sqlite3 - the following message appears:
<no location info>:
    Could not find module `Database.HDBC.Sqlite3':
      it is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.
I'd appreciate any help
