Can I somhow use my package with GHCi?
No, you need the .so. GHCi can't load static .a libraries. If you
really have no way to get a .so, then it is possible to create a .o
from the .a that GHCi can load using 'ld --whole-archive', but
you're into hacker territory there.
Alternately, just extract the contents of the .a into a subdirectory
and explicitly load them:
mkdir libmaxent
cd libmaxent
ar x /usr/local/lib/libmaxent.a
cd ..
ghci (...) libmaxent/*.o
