My version of pcre-config (8.30, also tested with 8.31) includes: libS= if test ${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu != /usr/lib ; then libS=-L${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu fi So, it seems it tries to be smart, but is not multiarch aware (I'll open a bug against it). This would obviously work correctly in squeeze, except that the version in squeeze lacks even this simple test :-) pkg-config on the other hand works better: $ pkg-config --libs libpcre -lpcre Apollon
