I think you should better post your question to haskell-cafe at haskell.org.

This is GHCi syntax, but it is not a valid Haskell module as indicated by 
the .hs filename extension.

I wonder why it loads file.hs at all. I would expect that it gives a 
syntax error.

Since 'repa' is not listed, it was not installed successfully. This would 
be consistent with the "Could not find module" message of GHCi. You may 
post the output of the 'cabal install repa' run.
