That would look for the STLport headers in 
"/usr/include/stlport/STLport-5.0.2/stlport" which I suspect in not what you 
wanted.  The linker errors are certainly typical of what happens when you 
link against a regex lib that is *not* built against STLport.  And yes, we 
need to improve the error checking in these STLport toolsets.
