Very, very helpful Chris; thanks; and thanks also to the many other helpful haskellers.

But hopefully this is just due to my ignorance and there's a simple workaround. At any rate, after darcs --getting as you suggested, I ran make, and got various complaints. I installed haddock, happy, alex, hat, c2hs, and cpphs with apt-get. But was unable to find a deb repository for greencard, the final requirement with apt-cache search. I then downloaded the latest version of greencard wget http://www.haskell.org/greencard/downloads/greencard-latest-src.tar.gz and ran sudo make install install-pkg It chugged along for a while, but finally errored out with ghc -package-name greencard -cpp -fglasgow-exts -fno-prune-tydecls -prof -c Foreign/GreenCard.hs -o Foreign/GreenCard.p_o -hisuf p_hi ghc-6.4.1: unrecognised flags: -fno-prune-tydecls I then googled, but found nothing for no-prune-tydecls or no-prune-typedecls (thinking it might be a typo) Anybody out there can help me get greencard working, so I (and all us perlers) can start using PCRE from haskell? thomas.
