Yes, that is better, as long as PCRE has been installed in the standard manner. The program was written before PCRE had pkg-config support, and it never got updated. When I next work on PCRE, I will add the suggestion that pkg-config is the easiset way to compile it, as long as pkg-config is available. Thank you for your comment.
