Not necessarily. It works for me on FreeBSD with fresh sources
from CVS and the internal pcre code hasn't been touched in years.

Why not a more recent release?

Do you get the same error if you do a "make clean" first?
Can you post the whole make output?

Thanks for mentioning it.

The message is still there, but apparently the clowns over at SF
decided to break the URLs (again) to improve the user experience.

The currently working URL seems to be:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20080511195555.2dc6cfdc%40fabiankeil.de&forum_name=ijbswa-developers

Is there a reason why you can't also build with external pcre?
