[Haskell-cafe] Re: regex-compat on latest Haskell Platform

[Kevin Jardine]

I'm running

cabal install

for the program that uses regex-compat. runhaskell doesn't work
because compiling the code requires library information in the cabal
file.

I've also tried to run something similar using ghci on the same
machine and it also fails with a similar error.
