Yes, various flavors of linux seem to have little issue with regular
expression libraries, since it is part of the glibc. For example under
fedora core 10, we have,
$ rpm -qf /usr/include/regexp.h
glibc-headers-2.9-3.x86_64
Where as my a debian system might show,
$ dpkg-query -S "/usr/include/regexp.h""
libc6-dev: /usr/include/regexp.h
What is your preferred choice of libc implementations under windows ?

Ouch.

I searched for that 'regex.h' file and it is really not there, I am not sure what is missing there, do I have to install something else ?

There are some install instructions for a few platforms in the page,
http://www.w3.org/INSTALL.htmlHowever, the some of the links for the windows regular expression
library are broken. I would suggest using cygwin.
Please post more details of your activity, and we can update the windows
section of the documentation . . .
