Keywords: compiling error messages regexp


     Could someone tell me where I need to look to change the regexp
which GNU Emacs uses when parsing error strings.  In Jove, this is
a variable, while in Emacs it doesn't appear to be one.  At least there
is nothing in the documentation which gives me the impression that it
is readily changeable.  My compiler's error messages have the following
format:

E "dog.c" L94/C11:	writebytes: Identifier is undeclared

Doing a M-x compile and then C-x ` fails to find any errors.  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
