Apache installation configuration can't find PCRE? ( pcre-config for libpcre not found )

Question

These are the requirements and instructions on how to install Apache on Linux. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/install.html

So I've installed everything (c++ compiler, apr and apr-util) to be able to install Apache correctly.

The only thing left is PCRE, I've installed it and it's located in my /usr/local/src/pcre-8.32

As I'm trying to sudo ./configure --with-included-apr I get this error:

checking for pcre-config... false
configure: error: pcre-config for libpcre not found. PCRE is required and available from http://pcre.org/

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

This solved it.

I installed pcre in /usr/local/pcre later on, by using

/.configure --prefix=/usr/local/pcre

Then installed apache.

./configure --with-included-apr –with-pcre=/usr/local/pcre
