Hello
The PCRE package fails to build on systems with grep 2.7 (or greater??). This
is due to a grep update which now rejects regular expressions that use
[:space:] instead of [[:space:]]. This affects 'configure' when it attempts to
check for the correct version of ltmain.sh.
The attached patches are as follows:
pcre-6.3-grep.patch - changes the grep command in configure.
pcre-spec-grep.patch - updates the spec file to apply the above patch.
Didn't know whether to fix the '[:space:]' used by sed at the same time? Works
okay at the moment, but I suppose that it could also change in the future.
Regards
Mark
