The regex module is a standard part of Guile 1.6:
If your system does not include a POSIX regular expression library,
and you have not linked Guile with a third-party regexp library such as
Rx, these functions will not be available. You can tell whether your
Guile installation includes regular expression support by checking
whether `(provided? 'regex)' returns true.
Please report the output of:
guile --version
There is absolutely no reason why your distribution should not provide a Guile
package linked against a regexp library, because several other tools provided
as standard with a Linux distribution require one (Perl being a good
example). Please file this issue against your distribution's Guile package.
In the meantime, comment out the following line (843) in your system-gschemrc:
-(load-from-path "auto-place-attribs.scm")
+;(load-from-path "auto-place-attribs.scm")
I will probably fix the gschem configure script to check for the availability
of the Guile regular expression module, and to error out if it is not
present.

As far as I can tell, this is not a bug: this is an unsatisfied dependency
requirement. It would be bad to "magically" disable the affected feature if
the regex module was not available.
