Summary: Big problems running ghc and ghci

Initial Comment:
When I try to run ghci this is what happens:

Ok. I am running Linux Mandrake 10.0 OE
I got the rpm from www.haskell.org
I cannot compile programs that I know work on other
systems. I can't remember the exact error that I get
from ghc, but it has something to do with Error
checking and the libraries.
I have hugs and it works absolutely perfectly!
I am desperate for a fix for this problem!!
I can be contacted at:

Thanks in advance
Josh

It looks like the directory that should be called GHC is
called ghc, and this is causing your problem.

What kind of filesystem are you using?  Would it be a
case-insenstive filesystem by any chance?

Try renaming /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.2.1/imports/ghc to
/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.2.1/imports/GHC, and see if that helps.

Yes, in /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.2.1/imports/
there are quite a few .hi files
also in  /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.2.1/imports/ghc/
 Exception.hi 
is there even though it says that it cant find.

I remember checking this the first time it gave me the
error. anyway here is the contents of

GHC confused by hi-boot files

[George Russell]

With both ghc6.2 and 6.2.20040915 on Linux, ghc --make cannot compile
the attached files and produces a confusing error message.
 # ghc --make View.hs
Chasing modules from: View.hs
Compiling ViewType ( ./ViewType.hs, ./ViewType.o )
Compiling VersionGraphClient ( ./VersionGraphClient.hs, ./VersionGraphClient.o 
)Compiling View ( View.hs, View.o )
View.hs:14:
Couldn't match `VersionGraphClient' against `VersionGraphClient'
Expected type: VersionGraphClient
Inferred type: VersionGraphClient
In the `graphClient1' field of a record
In the record construction: View {graphClient1 = graphClient}
However ghc without make has no problems.
# ghc -c ViewType.hs
# ghc -c VersionGraphClient.hs
# ghc -c View.hs

Template Haskell and boot files

[George Russell]

Hello GHC bug fixers,
I just sent a program which ghc --make couldn't compile but
individual ghc -c commands could.
Now I have just tried to work around this, using Template Haskell
to use a data rather than newtype declaration for ghc6.2
Unfortunately the new code has the opposite problem!  It breaks
ghc -c, but ghc --make works.  This is also for both ghc6.2
and ghc6.2.20040915
with -c it doesn't work:
# ghc -c -fglasgow-exts ViewType.hs
# ghc -c -fglasgow-exts VersionGraphClient.hs
tcLookup: `VersionGraphClient.VersionGraphClient' is not in scope
In the data type declaration for `View'
with --make it does work:
# ghc --make -fglasgow-exts VersionGraphClient.hs
Chasing modules from: VersionGraphClient.hs

Compiling VersionGraphClient ( VersionGraphClient.hs, VersionGr
