Summary: Big problems running ghc and ghci

Initial Comment:
When I try to run ghci this is what happens:

Ok. I am running Linux Mandrake 10.0 OE
I got the rpm from www.haskell.org
I cannot compile programs that I know work on other
systems. I can't remember the exact error that I get
from ghc, but it has something to do with Error
checking and the libraries.
I have hugs and it works absolutely perfectly!
I am desperate for a fix for this problem!!
I can be contacted at:

Thanks in advance
Josh

We don't have RPMs specifically for Mandrake - did you
install the RedHat 9.0 ones?  This might be the problem
(though I doubt it).

Could you do the following:create a simple Haskell source
file, such as
  
  main = putStr "hello world"

try to compile it with your installed GHC, like so:

  $ ghc -c -v test.hs

and post the output here.  Thanks.
