Sorry, it is because of my poor English.
I mean, that name of the executable, you are writing, is empty or have
space at the end.
For example, if you are writing myCoolProgram, then leksah tries to
use myCoolProgram-tmp as a temporary directory. If the name has space
at the end, then ghc will receive two arguments ("myCoolProgram" and
"-tmp") instead of one ("myCoolProgram<space>-tmp") and will try to
recognize the last one ("-tmp") as an option.

Please send me your project (or minimal part, that reproduces the
problem) and I'll try to help you.
