Ok, it took me a while to figure out how to write a _complete_ simple
program; I haven't written anything in Haskell before and was
installing ghc because I decided to take the plunge.  The simplest
program works fine:

------------------------------
module Main
    where

main = putStrLn "Hello, world"
------------------------------

$ ghc --make Main.hs -o Test
ghc-5.04.2: chasing modules from: Main.hs
Skipping  Main             ( Main.hs, ./Main.o )
ghc: linking ...
$ ./Test
Hello, world

There still might be wrong with the 5.04.2 installation, but it's not
clear to me what it could be.  I previously had a ghc-4.04
installation, and saw that the installation of 5.04.2 didn't overwrite
the link from /usr/local/bin/ghc.  I noticed and fixed this before
reporting my problem.  I've since removed all the remnants of the old
ghc, as far as I can tell, with no luck.
