ghci 5.00(.1) ignores -L ?

[Armin Groesslinger]

Hello,

I've been trying to start ghci 5.00 (Solaris) or 5.00.1 (Linux) with

  ghci -L/the/path -lglue

(where libglue.so is in /the/path), which should load (according to
Section 3.5.2 of the GHC Users Guide) libglue.so from /the/path, but
ghci says

Loading package std ... linking ... done.
Loading object (dynamic) glue ... failed (ld.so.1: /public/packages/
programming/ghc-5.00/lib/ghc-5.00/ghc-5.00: fatal: libglue.so:
open failed: No such file or directory)
ghc-5.00: user specified .o/.so/.DLL could not be loaded.


It doesn't matter whether I give  -L/the/path  or  -L/the/path/  .

It works fine with

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/the/path
  ghci -lglue

and ghci says

Loading package std ... linking ... done.
Loading object (dynamic) glue ... done.
