Hi,

I tried building darcs-1.0.9rc1 from source using ghc-6.6 and I get a slew of 
link-time errors:

External.o: In function `External_zdwcopyFileOrUrl_info':
ghc11833_0.hc:(.text+0xcdb2): undefined reference to

[etc. etc. etc.]

It looks like a library problem of some kind.  Is Darcs known to compile with 
GHC-6.6?  My version of GHC-6.6 is the full version, also compiled from source, 
and includes the Text.Regex library.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

Thanks for the report!  You have four options, if I understand
correctly:

1. Wait - there is a patch that is currently in unstable that
   will be making its way into stable and 1.0.9rc2 shortly.

2. Add the following line to configure.ac, line 113
GHC_CHECK_MODULE(Text.Regex( mkRegex, matchRegex, Regex ), regex-compat, mkRegex undefined)

3. If you have obtained darcs stable via darcs,
   darcs pull http://abridgegame.org/repos/darcs-unstable --match="author Josef"

4. If you have a working darcs and are willing to play with unstable code,
   darcs get http://abridgegame.org/repos/darcs-unstable

Please let us know if one of these works for you.

Eric,

Thanks for the suggestions.  I pulled the unstable sources and they compiled fine.
