[Haskell-beginners] Fwd: Re: can't install hackage package

[Emmanuel Touzery]

I made it work on another windows computer by copying a pcre.dll i found on
internet and setting some environment variables. It's not difficult but
right now i forgot the details..

 Hi,
I wanted to try this under Windows also, but there are even more problems,
since "pcre-light" dependency is not available (perhaps in case of using
MSys, MingW)
Hartmut

Windows, cabal 1.16.0.2, I got

cabal install rex --dry-run

Resolving dependencies...
In order, the following would be installed (use -v for more details):
hslogger-1.2.1
MissingH-1.2.0.0
pcre-light-0.4
split-0.2.1.1
th-lift-0.5.5
th-orphans-0.6
haskell-src-meta-0.6.0.1
rex-0.3.1

cabal install

Resolving dependencies...
Configuring pcre-light-0.4...
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:
pcre-light-0.4 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
rex-0.3.1 depends on pcre-light-0.4 which failed to install.

This is on fedora18 if it can help.
