#137: Linking error when using Text.Regex.Posix -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: axqd | Owner: refold Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: major | Milestone: 2010.2.0.0 Component: Windows installer | Resolution: Keywords: | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment (by raould):
cabal "solution" does not work for me. to wit: * i'm using winxp, just installed Haskell Platform today (2010.2.0.0). * trying to use the Example from Test.Framework is how i hit this. * using winghci. * get a link error: Loading package regex-posix-0.94.2 ... linking ... ghc: unable to load package `regex-posix-0.94.2'. * tried cabal install, it installed 0.94.4. * restarting winghci and trying again gives me the same error. i assume it is because the version numbers are not the same. * did ghc-pkg unregister regex-posix-0.94.4, then cabal install regex- posix-0.94-2 --reinstall, but that failed due to missing regex.h (of course?). so i am guessing that the Haskell Platform for Windows has some configuration file that assumes/requires exactly 0.94.2, and won't notice 0.94.4. (like, when i do ghc-pkg list regex-posix, it lists C:/Program Files/Haskell Platform/2010.2.0.0\lib\package.conf.d: regex-posix-0.94.2.) ?! -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/137#comment:5> haskell-platform <http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform> The Haskell Platform: a comprehensive and robust collection of Haskell libraries _______________________________________________ Haskell-platform mailing list Haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-platform
