Just to check the obvious... presumably there are *some* files in
the directory /lib/zsh/5.0.5/zsh ?  Otherwise the shell didn't get
installed properly.

Does that file exist?  If not, your zsh built without pcre --- that's
perfectly OK since it's a non-standard feature most people don't need,
but something in one of your start up files needs it.  It could be a
"zmodload zsh/pcre". or it might be an autoload causing pcre to be
loaded when it sees an expression like "[[ ... =~ ... ]]"

If it does exist, what does

ldd /lib/zsh/5.0.5/zsh/pcre.so

say?
