When you say "had this up", what do you mean?  I don't see any other
messages from you to the haskell-beginners list.

It's impossible to tell what's wrong only from this description.  If
you upload an *exact* copy of your file somewhere (e.g. hpaste.org)
I'm sure someone could take a look.  Some general things to watch out
for:

  * the real error could be in the previous line to the one being
    reported

  * all the imports have to come at the very beginning of a module

  * don't put any spaces or tabs before "import"
