2.0.18 build error -- 'ptr' undeclared in regex.c, UnixWare 7.1.1

[Matt Schalit]

Hi folks,

  I need a copy of md5sum.  So I decided to build textutils-2.0.18
on my UnixWare 7.1.1 box using gcc-2.95.3 and gmake.

  I get the following error in regex.c, but I'm not skilled enough
to analyze it.

  If there's a faq or a way to search this mailing list, please also
let me know about that, in addition to any thoughts you have on the
following:

(Thanks, Matt)
