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.

Is there a DLL? If not, you'll have to arrange to put the code into a .o that GHCi can load.
