Does GHC API dynamic loading work only with modules from installed packages?

I try to follow the way described in the answer to this question.

I have ExampleModule.o and ExampleModule.hi files in the working directory and I try to load ExampleModule.f function. But I get error message (with verbosity level set to 3):

Failed to load interface for `ExampleModule':
  locations searched:
    ExampleModule.hs
    ExampleModule.lhs

The packageIdString (thisPackage dynflags) is "main".

I suppose that's because I can only load modules from installed packages. Am I right? Is there a way to load a function dynamically from standalone object file, just like load function from plugins does, but with GHC API?

What does it say with the `-v` option? – Riccardo T. Mar 09 '12 at 09:22

It seems like it's searching for the source file, and not for the compiled ones. – Riccardo T. Mar 09 '12 at 17:38
