[Haskell-cafe] Re: regex-compat on latest Haskell Platform

Apparently, you've been bitten by a bug in the installer: http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/137 I haven't updated the installer yet, but in the meantime you can install regex-posix from Hackage (there is a new version out that should work on Windows out of the box). Do a 'cabal install regex-posix' followed by 'cabal install --reinstall regex-compat'.
