As far as I can see, the live version of `the section you mention`_ on
learnyouahaskell.com does not contain this text - it doesn't have the
"ghci> " at the beginning of the line. Besides what others have said in
response to your question, I would add that you should make sure to read
LYAH on the website if possible - other sources might be out of date, as
I think the author does update the website version from time to time.

I just tried here, and got no problems.
lucky.hs:
lucky :: (Integral a) => a -> String
lucky 7 = "LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN!!!"
lucky x = "Sorry, you're out of luck, pal..."
ghci:
:load "/path/to/lucky.hs"
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( /path/to/lucky.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Main.
*Main> lucky 7
"LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN!!!"
*Main> lucky 200
"Sorry, you're out of luck, pal..."
*Main>
I would suggest verifying my ghc installation or for any "funky" chars in
the file.

Hi Ertugrul,
As usual this is useful and I'll be studying it in more detail.
For now a general question: What do you think of *teaching* Haskell
replacing monads with arrows in the early introduction?
