Bug Description

When I try to build xview package in Ubuntu Intrepid I get error. I've searched for the cause of the problem and I've found that regexp.h in the new glibc version doesn't work as old version. I found this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446406
I think this can help you to do a fix for xview FTBFS providing a fix for regexp.h in glibc package.
Thanks
