Hi there, ubuntu 18.04.2, trying to compile R-devel 3.6.0, svn 76155.
I am having difficulty compiling R. I think I have pcre installed correctly:
You can use
apt-get build-dep r-base
to install binary Ubuntu packages needed to build R from source,
including PCRE, so there should be no need to compile PCRE from source.
If you need for some special reason to compile PCRE from source, please
see R Admin Manual, section A.1 on how to configure PCRE. The manual
also says how to set compilation flags for R to look for headers in
other directories. Sometimes it helps to search the config.log when
configure fails. If still in trouble, please report how you built PCRE
and how you told R where to find it, and the relevant part of
config.log, to maximize chances people could offer useful advice.
Best,
Tomas
OK~/Downloads/R-devel pcretest -C
PCRE version 8.41 2017-07-05
Compiled with
8-bit support
UTF-8 support
No Unicode properties support
No just-in-time compiler support
Newline sequence is LF
\R matches all Unicode newlines
Internal link size = 2
POSIX malloc threshold = 10
Parentheses nest limit = 250
Default match limit = 10000000
Default recursion depth limit = 10000000
Match recursion uses stack

But ./configure gives me this:
[snip]
checking for pcre.h... yes
checking pcre/pcre.h usability... no
checking pcre/pcre.h presence... no
checking for pcre/pcre.h... no
checking if PCRE version >= 8.20, < 10.0 and has UTF-8 support... no
checking whether PCRE support suffices... configure: error: pcre >=
8.20 library and headers are required
OK~/Downloads/R-devel
can anyone advise?
