Problem with Unboxed Types

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Just to be sure, I've just compiled and run this code with GHC 6.2.1, on
a Linux system.  I can't account for your difficulty I'm afraid.

module Main where

import GHC.Exts

showUnboxedInt :: Int# -> String
showUnboxedInt n = (show $ I# n) ++ "#"

main = print (showUnboxedInt 3#)

| 
| Hello,
| I'd like to try using Unboxed types, but I always get a "parse error
on input
| `#'" error. To make sure I wasn't making some mistake I tried the
example in
| the wiki:
| 
| http://www.haskell.org/hawiki/UnboxedType
| --------------------------------------------------------
| module Main where
| import GHC.Exts
| 
| showUnboxedInt :: Int# -> String
| showUnboxedInt n = (show $ I# n) ++ "#"
| --------------------------------------------------------
| 
| Even tried adding fglasgow-exts, nothing works though. I'm using GHC
6.2.1 on
| a SuSE 8.2 system (glibc 2.3) installed using the available RPMs. Any
idea?
| 
| Thanks in advance,
| J.A.
