Doctests starts ghc in interactive mode for evaluating the examples.
"interpreter exited with.." means that the spawned ghc process exited
with an error code. See src/Interpreter.hs : closeInterpreter for
details. One guess based on the 127 exit code would be that runnable
ghc is not found in the place defined by GHC.Paths.ghc.

By the way it seems that doctest (or haddoc) needs you to specify the
type signature for functions for which you write examples. So no
examples are run for 'fib'
