Hi, disregard my previous post. I just imported the module. But I get a different error: Prelude> import Text.Regex.Posix Prelude Text.Regex.Posix> "bar" =~ "(foo|bar)" ::Bool Loading package array-0.3.0.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package syb-0.1.0.2 ... linking ... done. Loading package base-3.0.3.2 ... linking ... done. Loading package bytestring-0.9.1.5 ... linking ... done. Loading package containers-0.3.0.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package mtl-1.1.0.2 ... linking ... done. Loading package regex-base-0.93.1 ... linking ... done. Loading package regex-posix-0.94.1 ... <interactive>: regex: The specified module could not be found. can't load .so/.DLL for: regex (addDLL: could not load DLL) Sorry for confusion, Milan
Hi,
I had a similar problem, ghc 6.12.1, windows 32bit, posix-regex-0.94.1 from hackage. I used libregex.a (and corresponding dll) from Mingw.
My problem was that I could not link an application which imported Text.Regex.Posix.
I was able to solve it by modifying a line ld-options: in package.conf.d/regex-posix-0.94.1blahblah to ld-options: -lregex (do not forget to ghc-pkg recache after that :)
When I tried importing Text.Regex.Posix in ghci now, it works.
I know adding a line to file in package.conf.d id not The Right Way, it can be probably fixed in the .cabal file, but I just wanted a quick fix.
Does it work for you?
Milan
Hi all,
The only problem stalling the release of the Windows installer for the new Haskell Platform is the bug in regex-posix. It compiles fine (using the libregex.a library from MinGW), but fails at runtime with the following error:
Prelude> import Text.Regex.Posix Prelude Text.Regex.Posix> "bar" =~ "(foo|bar)" ::Bool Loading package array-0.3.0.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package bytestring-0.9.1.5 ... linking ... done. Loading package containers-0.3.0.0 ... linking ... done. Loading package mtl-1.1.0.2 ... linking ... done. Loading package regex-base-0.93.1 ... linking ... done. Loading package regex-posix-0.94.1 ... linking ... <interactive>: E:\Program Fil es (x86)\Haskell\regex-posix-0.94.1\ghc-6.12.1\HSregex-posix-0.94.1.o: unknown s ymbol `_regerror' : unable to load package `regex-posix-0.94.1' Prelude Text.Regex.Posix>
Unfortunately, Chris, the maintainer, doesn't have access to a Windows machine with GHC currently, and therefore can't help me.
I'd appreciate any pointers on how to fix this.
