Loading modules without .hs file fails
If I attempt to load a module with only the .hi and .o
files for that module present, then the load fails with
the following message:
Loading package std ... linking ... done.
Prelude> :l Part1
*** Exception: does not exist
Action: withFileStatus
Reason: No such file or directory
Prelude>
However, by placing a 'dummy' .hs file with only the
single line:
module Part1 where
I can get the module Part1 to load _with full
functionality_.
This error is present in ghci 5.00.2 on a i86pc running
SunOS 5.8
