Upgrading PCRE to v7.4 fixed the problem. (Previous version was v6.5)

Here are some relevant lines from the configure step: checking pcreposix.h usability... no checking pcreposix.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: pcreposix.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: pcreposix.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: pcreposix.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: pcreposix.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: pcreposix.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: pcreposix.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists. ## configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## checking for pcreposix.h... yes So the configure script finds that pcreposix.h is unusable, but uses it anyway. The build works fine on a different Solaris 9 system that doesn't have pcre installed. Is there a fix for this problem, preferable one that doesn't involve hacking code? Is there a config option to pretend pcreposix.h doesn't exist? Thanks, Larry
