You have an include (-I/usr/include) which is causing the regex.h
file in /usr/include to be used instead of the one that came with
HylaFAX.  The only solution I could come up with that allowed me to
use say Tiff from /usr/include, but yet not pick up regex from
/usr/include was to create a temp directory in the hylafax
directory, and then make symbolic links for anything that I need
from /usr/include that would cause a -I/usr/include to be
generated.  For instance, to use tiff from /usr/include, I did:

mkdir usr-include
ln -s /usr/include/tiffio.h usr-include/tiffio.h

Then, I told the configuration process to look for tiff in
usr-include.

Don't know if this is the best way or not...

but, in short:  don't specify /usr/include in any of the
configuration parameters.  There is a similar situation that occurs
with libz, I think.  I just renamed libz.a in /usr/lib to something
else.  Or you could install the libz that comes with HylaFAX in
/usr/lib.
