To reproduce, just guix environment --ad-hoc ghc -- ghci. ghc <at> 8.4.3
works. Seems like this may be related to some Prelude changes upstream
(https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16563), but I'm not
familiar enough with GHC internals to really tell what's going on.
Interestingly, when I try to run plain old GHC on some source files
with 8.6.5 I get another seemingly unrelated error:

    Bad interface file:
/gnu/store/8v1sn5ns7r5n02aip0b0ypyyzb2y1i1a-ghc-8.4.3/lib/ghc-8.4.3/base-4.11.1.0/Prelude.hi
            mismatched interface file versions (wanted "8065", got "8043")
      |
    1 | import Test.Hspec        (Spec, it, shouldBe)
      | ^

Again, I'm afraid I'm not entirely familiar with GHC internals and the
function of interfaces files. Nevertheless, it seems not all is well
in Guix-Haskell-land.

I believe this should be fixed by 83aa656217.  I made a mistake when
refactoring the GHC 8.6 package definition, and it was not setting its
search paths correctly.

Can you try again and confirm that it’s fixed?

Thanks!

That does indeed fix both bugs. In my specific case I'm still running
into an issue with dependency shadowing, but it seems like a separate
issue and I'll open a new one if it's not on my side.

Thanks.

Thanks for checking so quickly.  :)
