Do you know about `C-c ! C-c`/`M-x flycheck-compile`?  This shows the command that Flycheck would use and the output it produces.

Can you show your Flycheck/Haskell setup for Emacs, and try to provide more specific details about the errors you see?  At best, please include the output of the above command.
