I'm trying to compile regex-posix on ghc 6.7. (Ultimate goal: happs on 6.7).

First, I patched by changing the cabal file to be compatible with the new libraries broken out of base. I also had to add HsRegexPosixConfig.h to include/regex (I just copied it from somewhere else on my hard drive where I guess it had been put by an earlier regex-posix install, I don't know if it's compatible here but at least it permitted things to compile further.)

Setup.hs build -v3 had a lot of warnigs but didn't seem to fail. However, Setup.hs install -v3 didn't work.

the problem in build seems to occur around "upsweep partially failed or main not exported"...

I'd appreciate any advice.
