When I try ./configure --enable-R-shlib
I get this error:
configure: error: PCRE2 library and headers are required, or use --with-pcre1
and PCRE >= 8.32 with UTF-8 support
I have to admit I'm completely in the dark as to what functionality
PCRE provides.
Next, I tried using --with-pcre1 but it made no difference.
There are quite a lot of packages in the repository for Linux Mint
17.2 with 'pcre' in the name and these are installed:
> aptitude search pcre | grep ^i
i libpcre3 - Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Libra
i libpcre3:i386 - Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Libra
i libpcre3-dev - Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Libra
i libpcrecpp0 - Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Libra
Apparantly the '3' doesn't indicate an updated '2' version. The only
packages with prce2 in the name are these:
> aptitude search pcre2
v apertium-pcre2 -
v apertium-pcre2:i386 -
Suggestions welcome.
