[Haskell-cafe] trouble building regex-base 0.91 on ghc 6.7

[Thomas Hartman]

thanks stefan, I did remember that discussion (actually also an answer to 
a question I asked.)

I got from that that previous help that I had to edit the cabal file.

The problem here, as you say, is that I had not re-run runghc Setup.hs 
configure.

thanks,

thomas.

Did you re-run configure after changing the cabal file?

Also, what ghc-pkg says has absolutely nothing to do with this; the
options Cabal passes completely override the ghc-pkg exposure flags.I
can hardly fault you for not knowing the answer to a Cabal FAQ, since
Cabal doesn't actually have a FAQ list yet.

You are running into the same problem as
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-August/030276.html,
and most of my explanation there applies here.
