(On webmail, apologies if the format is a bit uncontrollable.)

This is quite a common problem if your Linux setup isn't
specifically installed for software development.

The check needs to be able to perform a compilation,
so it has to find the headers as well as the libraries.
Those are typically in some additional package.  You'll
probably find you have a package "pcre" installed and
need another one called "pcre-devel" or something similar.
