Yet another excerpt from the file postgres.README (there is an old
and a new version of this file, in this case, only the new version
contains the following.  It is a problem, which occured later due
to changes in /usr/include/regex.h):

    Your /usr/include/regex.h might or might have the line:
    "#include <sys/types.h>. If it does not, be sure to put it either
    in /usr/include/regex.h or ~postgres/src/utils/adt/regexp.c.

Try to continue using:

	Make everything

If that finally succeeds (I hope so, you have run into all well-known
errors by now), try:

	Make install
