The version of libpcre3-dev available on Ubuntu 7.04 does not contain all of the defines necessary to build without errors. Specifically PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY is not available (and possibly more). Copying pcre.h from 7.10 fixes the problem.

Could you print the output of

Code:

apt-cache show libpcre3-dev

from your system. PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY was added in PCRE version 7.0 (12/06), and it looks like even dapper has 7.0+ http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libpcre3-dev. The first few lines in /usr/include/pcre.h should show you what version it is.

It's the same version as on my 7.10 system:

Code:

$ apt-cache show libpcre3-dev | head
Package: libpcre3-dev
Priority: optional
Section: libdevel
Installed-Size: 680
Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <[email protected]>
Original-Maintainer: Mark Baker <[email protected]>
Architecture: amd64
Source: pcre3
Version: 7.4-0ubuntu0.7.04.2
Depends: libc6-dev, libpcre3 (= 7.4-0ubuntu0.7.04.2), libpcrecpp0 (= 7.4-0ubuntu0.7.04.2)

The problem is they edit the header for compatibility. It sounds like this may be only on the amd64 version:

Code:

#ifndef _PCRE_H
#define _PCRE_H

/* The current PCRE version information. */

/* We lie here about the version number, in order not to confuse
   existing build dependencies.  All post-6.7 API additions have been
   disabled as well. */

#define PCRE_MAJOR          6
#define PCRE_MINOR          7
#define PCRE_PRERELEASE
#define PCRE_DATE           2007-10-28

And then they ifdef out the important defines:

Code:

#if 0
/* Disabled to preserve API compatibility with version 6.7. */
#define PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY        0x00400000
#define PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF    0x00500000
#define PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF        0x00800000
#define PCRE_BSR_UNICODE        0x01000000
#endif /* disabled for API compatibility */

Definitely looks like an amd64 issue to me, not a 7.04 compatibility issue. For now maybe you can try manually installing pcre from source.

It looks like this issue does affect 7.04 after all, not just 64-bit.

Ok, it should be fixed now.
