Error building : fatal error: pcre.h: No such file or directory

by

The latest version of Phalcon uses PCRE libraries.

You can install them like so:

sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev

and then try and install Phalcon again

For CentOS you will need to use

sudo yum install pcre-devel

For Mac you can use

brew install pcre

For Mac without brew

Go to https://www.pcre.org/ and download latest pcre:,

tar -xzvf pcre-8.42.tar.gz
cd pcre-8.42
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pcre-8.42
make
make install
ln -s /usr/local/pcre-8.42 /usr/sbin/pcre
ln -s /usr/local/pcre-8.42/include/pcre.h /usr/include/pcre.h
