Hi Don, thanks for the answer.

I checked again the http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/As_a_library page on 
the wiki and there are examples of interactive evaluation but I cannot find 
an example of loading a symbol from a compiled module.

If anyone can provide one, I will be happy to test it and add it to the "GHC 
as a library" Wiki page.
