Can not configure pcre on CENTOS

Server NGINX
1

Hi. I apologize but I am a linux noobie. I installed pcre on Centos
using “yum install pcre-devel” . Everything worked fine. However, I
can seem to find the correct location for the pcre library. I use
locate and find and have tried several combinations.

The following is my configure command:

/configure --sbin-path=/sbin/nginx
–conf-path=/usr/local/nginx/nginx.conf
–pid-path=/usr/local/nginx/nginx.pid --with-http_ssl_module
–with-md5=auto/lib/md5 --with-sha1=auto/lib/sha1
–with-http_perl_module --without-http_rewrite_module
–with-pcre=…/pcre-6-6.2

./configure runs fine.

make fails

I have tried several different values for the --with-pcre= option, such
as /usr/bin/pcre-6-6.2 and I always get the following

Entering directory /tmp/nginx/nginx-0.7.64' cd ../pcre-6-6.2 \ && if [ -f Makefile ]; then make distclean; fi \ && CC="gcc" CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe " \ ./configure --disable-shared /bin/sh: line 0: cd: ../pcre-6-6.2: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [../pcre-6-6.2/Makefile] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory /tmp/nginx/nginx-0.7.64’
make: *** Error 2

How can I locate the correct library for pcre and what value should I
set it to for the --with-pcre option?

thanks

Umm… what happens when you do “–with-pcre=/usr”?

If your have installed PCRE using package manager, you do not need
–whit-pcre= at all: configure should find installed pcre by itself.

The following is my configure command:

/configure --sbin-path=/sbin/nginx --conf-path=/usr/local/nginx/nginx.conf --pid-path=/usr/local/nginx/nginx.pid --with-http_ssl_module --with-md5=auto/lib/md5 --with-sha1=auto/lib/sha1 --with-http_perl_module --without-http_rewrite_module --with-pcre=…/pcre-6-6.2

You should remove the following arguments from ./configure:

–with-md5=auto/lib/md5
–with-sha1=auto/lib/sha1
–with-pcre=…/pcre-6-6.2

They should be used specify path to sources of appropriate
libraries and your usage is obviously wrong. As soon as libraries
in question are installed on your system nginx will be able to
find them.

For more information see:

./configure --help
