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

[Stephen Tetley]

Hi Kevin

I've just installed Platform-2010.2.0.0 and I'm getting the symbol
error on the file that I could compile with Platform2009.2.0.2.

So I'd say it is a bug with the Platform, also it looks like the error
was acknowledged on the Platform mailing list last week.
