i'm using also debian, and can compile that program without much
trouble:
~/tmp$ mixasm foo.mixal
foo.mixal:0: warning: undefined symbol: halt
(1 warning(s))
the warning is harmless (strictly speaking, comments go after operands,
and HLT doesn't have any): i can also execute the output foo.mix file
using mixvm:
~/tmp$ mixvm foo.mix
Program loaded. Start address: 3000
MIX> run
Running ...
MIXAL HELLO WORLD
... done
Elapsed time: 11 /Total program time: 11 (Total uptime: 11)

so i am not really sure what could be the problem you're experiencing.
perhaps you could provide more details about the exact error messages
you receive? or try to load the program in gmixvm and see if it works
there (or even compiling inside mixvm). i guess you're not using tabs
instead of spaces, right?
cheers,
jao
