        Type:  bug     |      Status:  new     
    Priority:  normal  |   Component:  Compiler
     Version:  6.8.2   |    Severity:  normal  
    Keywords:          |    Testcase:          
Architecture:  x86     |          Os:  NetBSD  
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 The -main-is option to runghc does not appear to work, at least not when
 specifying a package name. Create Hello.hs:

     module Hello where
     main = putStrLn "Hello."

 and then try to run it:

     runghc -main-is Hello Hello.hs

 You will see:

     <interactive>:1:113:
         Failed to load interface for `Main':
           Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
