importing "in place" and packages

I'm compiling the files for package "javavm" with GHC 6.6 (using 
"-package-name javavm"). As part of the compilation process, I need a 
runnable program that uses the modules I've compiled "in place":

   import JVMBoot

But I get this error when compiling my "Main" module (ShowClasses.hs):

ShowClasses.hs:23:1:
     Bad interface file: JVMBoot.hi
         Something is amiss; requested module  main:JVMBoot differs from 
name found in the interface file javavm:JVMBoot

Really I want to import javavm:JVMBoot, not main:JVMBoot. I tried this, 
but GHC doesn't like it (because it's not Haskell):

  import javavm:JVMBoot

I tried compiling ShowClasses.hs with "-package-name javavm". This let 
me compile, but then I get this on link:

/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_ZCMain_main_closure
___stginit_ZCMain
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I tried adding a -main-is in the compile step, but this didn't help.

Is there any way to create a main function that calls files imported "in 
place" that are in some package? I have the same issue when writing 
tests for my "time" package.
