Hi,

The issue AFAIU is that make-regexp is part of (guile), and not exported
by (ice-9 regex).  You would need to add (only (guile) make-regexp) to
your import set.  I know it's somewhat terrible but perhaps in the near
future we will be able to replace this regexp support with something
more consistent.

Please reopen if I misunderstood the bug.

Cheers,

Andy
