Subject: problems with regex.h in an extension module

I am working on embedding ruby into a C++ application but I cannot get
the app to compile because of the naming of regex.h in
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux-gnu.  It conflicts with
/usr/include/regex.h.  Below I have pasted the compile error that I get.

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/michael/dev/kahakai/kahakai/src'

regfree is defined in /usr/include/regex.h.  How can I work around this problem?
