-Followed the instructions over here: http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/git-annex_on_OSX/

-sudo port install pcre  
-sudo cabal install pcre-light

-> Ah right, that is a new dependency. I've updated the forum page

-> Hmm, it seems you may be missing part of the quickcheck haskell
-> library, or have a different version than me.
-> 
-> The easy fix is probably to just edit BackendTypes.hs and delete the

-> is only used by the test suite (so "make test" will fail),

-Closing this bug because the above problem now has a solution documented on
