[Haskell-cafe] Compilation error in Chapter 5 of "Real World Haskell"

I'm trying to do the following from Chapter 5 of "Real World Haskell":

Our choice of naming for the source file and function is deliberate. To
create an executable, *ghc* expects a module named Main that contains a
function named main. The main function is the one that will be called when
we run the program once we've built it. 6 comments<comments:%20show%20/%20hide>

*ghc -o simple Main.hs SimpleJSON.o*

---from
http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/writing-a-library-working-with-json-data.html

When I do that, I get this error:

C:\ch05>ghc -o simple Main.hs SimpleJSON.o
[2 of 2] Compiling Main             ( Main.hs, Main.o )
Linking simple.exe ...

SimpleJSON.o:fake:(.data+0x4): multiple definition of
`SimpleJSON_getObject_closure'

What's going wrong here?
