What do I need to install for the regex library support on MINGW?

It looks like the regex library needs the posix library, and in my MINGW / MSYS installation I don't find one (and neither does configure).

I have not run into this problem with the regex library but I ran into a similar one when building network. Did you get the regex library after you had already run autoreconf? If so, you need to run autoreconf and ./configure again in the ghc root directory. Regards, Brian
