C++ libraries and GHCI

[Paolo Losi]

Hi all,

I'm working on a tentative implementation of haskell binding to libsvm [1]:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HSvm

The package includes libsvm C++ sources.
While it works perfectly with ghc --make (try to install the package and
compile http://bitbucket.org/pao/hsvm/raw/6cf7ca91f1e5/test/test.hs),
it fails with ghci:

(hsvm)(env)paolo at moltrasio:~/trash$ ghci test.hs
GHCi, version 6.10.4: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

unknown symbol `_ZTV6Kernel'
ghc: unable to load package `HSvm-0.1.0.2.89'

Please note that the symbol is available in libHSHSvm-0.1.0.2.89.a

$ nm HSHSvm-0.1.0.2.89.o |grep _ZTV6Kernel
00000000 V _ZTV6Kernel
$ nm libHSHSvm-0.1.0.2.89.a |grep _ZTV6Kernel
00000000 V _ZTV6Kernel

Can anyone give a look to the problem?

Thanks
Paolo
