From inside the source dir:

$ ls -l pcretest
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5146 May 2 10:18 pcretest

$ ls -l /usr/bin/pcretest
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42788 May 2 10:18 /usr/bin/pcretest


$ locate libpcre

/lib/libpcre.so.0
/lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1
/usr/lib/libpcre.a
/usr/lib/libpcre.la
/usr/lib/libpcre.so
/usr/lib/libpcre.so.0
/usr/lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1
/usr/lib/libpcrecpp.a
/usr/lib/libpcrecpp.la
/usr/lib/libpcrecpp.so
/usr/lib/libpcrecpp.so.0
/usr/lib/libpcrecpp.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libpcreposix.a
/usr/lib/libpcreposix.la
/usr/lib/libpcreposix.so
/usr/lib/libpcreposix.so.0
/usr/lib/libpcreposix.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpcre.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpcrecpp.pc

Ah, could we have possibly found the culprit?

$ ls -l /lib/libpcre.so.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Apr 30 17:34 /lib/libpcre.so.0 -> libpcre.so.0.0.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 116756 Apr 30 15:12 /lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1


Should I unlink /lib/libpcre.so.0, delete /lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1 and
try make install again?

Thanks so much,
Simeon
