It seems that regexp is broken on some Solaris. I use the one
from guile-rgx-ctax. A warning: this cannot be installed as
it is in the current interpreter.
How to do it:
1) compile by hand the file regex.c in the rgx (or regex ?; do not
remember) sub-directory
2) add the resulting regex.o (regex.lo) in the Makefile linking the guile
interpreter, just after regex-posix.o (regex-posix.lo)
3) Relink your guile interpreter: the Solaris regexp will not be used.
