Install the pcre (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions)libs..either via rpm *retch* or download and build the source from sourceforge(http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcre/)

PCRE should build out of the box in Red Hat 8+. It did on Mac OS X.
For Mac OS X, it was as simple as:
$./configure --enable-utf8 $make $make install
NB: I enabled utf8 for my use, it may not be appropriate for your environment, but I'm using a webapp with very specific support for UTF-8.
$ locate pcre
will list all of the possible matches for pcre, including the libpcre and libpcreposix libraries that the configure will look for.
$ man pcretest AND $ pcretest
are also helpful the former providing detailed information about its use (not relevant to this topic, but nice to know) and the latter will output the version installed (my RH8 box has v3.9, the current version is v4.4 | v4.5, the pcre website is not united on this) then drop you into a regex interface. ^C will exit.
That said make sure that both libpcre and libpcreposix are available as the configure is going create Makefiles with the flags -lpcre and -lpcreposix.
Hope This Helps, Tim
