Emacs hangs in haskell-mode with inferior-haskell-load-file call

Question

When in a Haskell file, I use C-c C-l to run the command inferior-haskell-load-file which is intended to load the current file into the GHCI interprete

Answer 1

I had a similar problem caused by GHCi reporting some kind of error on startup, causing the Emacs haskell mode to wait for the GHCi prompt indefinitely (GHCi didn't show the standard prompt (Prelude>), but rather just showed >). You can try running GHCi externally and see if it reports any errors.
