Several things. Firstly, as irssi is not part of LFS you should really be asking these sorts of questions on the BLFS-Support mailing list. The error above says you've not installed PCRE. Try installing it http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/pcre.html and then install glib again http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/glib2.html Lastly, the error message above says that there are more details in irssi-0.8.15/config.log. What does it say in relation to pcre and glib?
