[Haskell-cafe] cant get trivial c2hs to work

I am trying to figure out how to use c2hs, so I wrote a wrapper for
asin from math.h:
$ cat ASin.chs
module MySin (mysin)

import C2HS

#include "math.h"

asin::Double -> Double
asin xx =
   {#call fun asin#} xx

and this is my main:
$ cat Main.hs
module Main where

import ASin

main = do
   putStrLn $ show $ asin 0.5

`c2hs ASin.chs` generates this:

$ cat ASin.hs
-- GENERATED by C->Haskell Compiler, version 0.14.5 Travelling
Lightly, 12 Dec 2005 (Haskell)
-- Edit the ORIGNAL .chs file instead!


{-# LINE 1 "ASin.chs" #-}module MySin (mysin)

import C2HS


asin::Double -> Double
asin xx =
   asin xx



foreign import ccall safe "ASin.h asin"
  asin :: (CDouble -> CDouble)


but, when i try to build the wone thing, i get an error that i dont understand:

$ ghc -v --make -fffi Main.hs
Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.4.2, for Haskell 98, compiled by
GHC version 6.4.2

So, what am i missing?
