Hi Thomas-

That makes sense.  The REGEX fails because you haven't installed
OpenCascade.  You've only built it.  When you install it,
Standard_Version.hxx will be correct and the REGEX will match.  In the
build directory, it only includes the header from the source directory.

I suspect (but haven't tested yet) that the library linking issue will also
be resolved by a full install.
