[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

In the Guile 3.0.10 package provided by this distribution, the standard procedure regexp-compile is not exported by the (ice-9 regex) module.
This causes an "Unbound variable: regexp-compile" error when attempting to use this procedure after loading the module with (use-modules (ice-9 regex)).

I am using the Arch Linux distribution, and it does seem to leave the package alone.
Did you deprecate the procedure, or something?

regexp-compile is not part of the standard Guile API, as far as I
know. It's not documented, and not exported from (ice-9 regex).  Maybe
Arch Linux does something extra to provide it?  Or maybe you are using
Racket there instead of Guile?

Closing.
