Seems to work for me, on Linux/amd64:

$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.6
$ echo 'main = putStrLn "Foo"' > q.hs
$ ghc q.hs
$ ghci -v0 q.hs
Prelude Main> main
Foo
Prelude Main>

Can you please give a complete testcase for the problem you're seeing?
Also, exactly which OS/arch are you on?


Thanks
Ian
