I'm hoping some Haskell developers who use Macs can help me with this one. I can install pcre-light just fine using cabal install. But when I try to use it, I get this error: GHCi, version 6.8.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help :Loading package base ... linking ... done. Prelude> :m Text.Regex.PCRE.Light.Char8 Prelude Text.Regex.PCRE.Light.Char8> compile "h." [] Loading package array-0.1.0.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package bytestring-0.9.0.1 ... linking ... done. Loading package pcre-light-0.3.1 ... can't load .so/.DLL for: pcre (dlopen(libpcre.dylib, 10): image not found) OK, so it can't find the pcre library (which is in /opt/local/lib). I can fix that: export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib Now it works. But other things are broken! For example, I can't run vim, which looks for a library called libJPEG.dylib and now finds libjpeg.dylib in /opt/local/lib (case-insensitive file system!). The apple website recommends against setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Instead, they say, the paths to the libraries should be hard-coded into the binary: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1670523&tstart=0 I'm sure others have had the same problem. What's the solution? John
