Dear Johannes, I have solved the problem by moving all the header files to either /usr/include/ajax or /usr/include/nucleus, and keeping the internal headers of EMBOSS' old copy of libpcre in /usr/include/ajax. Therefore, to build EMBOSS third-party applications in Debian, one will have to pass -I/usr/include/ajax -I/usr/include/nucleus to the compiler.
Is this solution satisfying for you ? I am open to other strategies. Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy http://charles.plessy.org Wako, Saitama, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
