[darcs-devel] [issue958] rather confusing configure error in 2.0.2

[Isaac Dupree]

New submission from Isaac Dupree <id at isaac.cedarswampstudios.org>:

{{{
...
checking for module Text.Regex( mkRegex, matchRegex, Regex )... no; and neither
in package text
checking for module Text.Regex( mkRegex, matchRegex, Regex )... no; and neither
in package regex-compat
configure: error: Cannot find Test.Regex; try installing the package text or
regex-compat?
}}}

"Cannot find Test.Regex" -- typo, should say "Text" not "Test"

What is package "text"? -- not on Hackage, does it need to be mentioned in the
recommended solution or can we just say "...; try installing the package
regex-compat?"

that's a simple fix.  More generally, hopefully ignorant people will know it
means "Haskell package" and if their distro doesn't provide it will be able to
use "cabal install"... :-)
