--with-pcre=<arg> is expecting pcre to be installed to the prefix arg. Typically, if you want to install/use software that is not part of your os, you would configure pcre with something like: ./configure --prefix=/opt make all install and then configuring apache is simply ./configure --with-pcre=/opt HTH Tom
