[Haskell-beginners] Installing regex-pcre

[MJ Williams]

Dear all,
I'm trying to install regex-pcre on my XP Pro machine.  I have the 
latest version of GHC.  Do any of you recognise and understand the 
following error message?

install regex-pcre
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring regex-pcre-0.94.2...
cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing C library: pcre
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
regex-pcre-0.94.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1


Apologies if the query is a little offtopic.
Regards
Matthew
