ghci fails to start, no GHCziBase_ZC_con_info

I (dickrp@ece.northwestern.edu) installed GHC 6.2.2 on a 
9.1 SuSE linux box and used ghc to compile a hello world 
test program.  That worked.  When I attempt to start ghci, 
the following happened, preventing ghci from ever starting: 
I already tried the libreadline hack and that didn't help. 
 
ghci -v

During interactive linking, GHCi couldn't find the following 
symbol: 
  GHCziBase_ZC_con_info or GHCziBase_ZC_static_info 
This may be due to you not asking GHCi to load extra 
object files, 
archives or DLLs needed by your current session.  Restart 
GHCi, specifying 
the missing library using the -L/path/to/object/dir and 
-lmissinglibname 
flags, or simply by naming the relevant files on the GHCi 
command line. 
Alternatively, this link failure might indicate a bug in GHCi.
