Huh, this is very weird. regex is part of the standard libc  and a man
of onle of the functions on my system gives


REGCOMP(3)                 Linux Programmer's Manual               
REGCOMP(3)

NAME
       regcomp, regexec, regerror, regfree - POSIX regex functions

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <regex.h>

       int regcomp(regex_t *preg, const char *regex, int cflags);
       int regexec(const  regex_t  *preg,  const  char *string, size_t
nmatch,
                   regmatch_t pmatch[], int eflags);
       size_t regerror(int errcode, const regex_t *preg, char *errbuf, 
size_t
                       errbuf_size);
       void regfree(regex_t *preg);

What OS are you running on? What does "man regcomp" tell you above the
includes for the regex code? Why not install pcre instead and then the
regexp code isn't used.
