Thanks Manuel

The error message is as follows

--------------------------------------
CallIncr.o: In function `sWM_entry':
CallIncr.o:(.text+0xc5): undefined reference to `incr'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--------------------------------------

where 'incr' is a toy function defined in 'mylib.h'.
Obviously, in the foreign declaration I have changed
'myfun' by 'incr'.
The compilation command is the typical

ghc -ffi -c CallIncr.hs

followed by

ghc -ffi CallIncr.o

which generate the previous error.
Thanks again,
gustavo
