[Haskell] compiling under osx

[Eli Jordan]

hi

im a first year computer science student, and we are currently learning 
haskell. We have recently begun to learn the IO functions and to 
compile programs.

The problem i have is that when i execute the command ghc  -o 
<exe-name> <name>.hs it is supposed to produce two files, when i do it 
<exe-name> is not produced.

i am running under osx 10.3.9, and do not understand why this is 
happening, any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
