Config.h says:

/* Define to 1 if you have the `regcomp' function. */
#define HAVE_REGCOMP 1

/* Define to 1 if you have the <regex.h> header file. */
#define HAVE_REGEX_H 1

/* Define to 1 if you have the `re_comp' function. */
#define HAVE_RE_COMP 1

Makefile says:
LIBS = -lXaw -lXpm -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lfl -lm   
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,-rpath /usr/X11R6/lib 

I don't know if it is related but an other menu item I noted not working is 
the Info menu.  The "Generator Object Report" says Control-R should be the 
accelerator key for that menu item, but Control-R doesn't do anything, or I've 
not found the right context to be in for it to do something.  What I expect 
to happen is if I have an object selected then press Control-R I get the 
object report.  Nothing happens.
