$ more hello.hs
main =3D print "Hello world!"
$ ./ghc-inplace hello.hs
hello.o(.text+0x28): In function 'rE8_srt': undefined reference to
'GHCziShow_zdfShowChar_closure"

[ another of the same error ]

[ another of the same but this time referring to=20

In function 'GHCziShow_zdfShowZMZN_srt': undefined reference to
'GHCziShow_lvl16_closure'

[A LARGE number of similar errors all within libHSbase.a]

[Similar errors in libHSrts.a]

[Invoking the already installed ghc from the .deb to check the program
isn't the problem..]
$ ghc hello.hs
Compilation was NOT necessary
$ ./a.out
Hello world!
