On your box, /usr/include/regex.h just does a #include <rx.h>.
This causes problems since MC has its own regex.h that does other
things.

MC includes its regex.h.  gnome-regex.h includes the system regex.h.
Conflict ensues.


In 0.30 libgnome.h includes gnome-regex.h.  I removed this #include in
cvs because of the problems you are seeing.  You could do this and MC
will compile fine.  (But if you make this change you can't recompile
libgnome -- you'd need to update a couple files there as well.)
