I try to update Zabbix version from source. Now installed 3.2.1 version and Zabbix works properly. I do `/tmp/zabbix-3.4.3/configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-libxml2` and error appears: `... ... checking for libevent support... yes checking for libpcre support... no configure: error: Unable to use libpcre (libpcre check failed) ` I’ve tried with keys –with-libpcre-include=/usr/lib64/ or/and –with-libpcre=/usr/lib64/ - the same effect. I’ve reinstall and update this library to newest version. Output library folder: `zabbix:~ # ls -la /usr/lib/libpcre* /usr/lib64/libpcre* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Nov 10 14:44 /usr/lib64/libpcre16.so.0 -> libpcre16.so.0.2.9 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 555288 Oct 12 00:29 /usr/lib64/libpcre16.so.0.2.9 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Nov 10 14:44 /usr/lib64/libpcrecpp.so.0 -> libpcrecpp.so.0.0.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39424 Oct 12 00:29 /usr/lib64/libpcrecpp.so.0.0.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Nov 10 14:45 /usr/lib64/libpcreposix.so.0 -> libpcreposix.so.0.0.5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10368 Oct 12 00:29 /usr/lib64/libpcreposix.so.0.0.5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 452976 Dec 5 2016 /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 10 14:24 /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.1 -> libpcre.so.1.2.9 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 575784 Oct 12 00:29 /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.1.2.9 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 10 14:29 /usr/lib/libpcre.so.1 -> libpcre.so.1.2.9 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 579076 Oct 12 00:40 /usr/lib/libpcre.so.1.2.9 ` There are list of installed packages: `zabbix:~ # rpm -qa | grep libpcre libpcrecpp0-8.41-2.3.x86_64 libpcre1-8.41-2.3.x86_64 libpcre1-32bit-8.41-2.3.x86_64 libpcre16-0-8.41-2.3.x86_64 libpcreposix0-8.41-2.3.x86_64 ` There are [config file](https://pastebin.com/WQeYj3ai) and [log file](https://pastebin.com/TP8CK6Fg).

Hi Whenever compiling and see a missing package, it will be the devel one… I see no pcre-devel package installed (will be on the SDK)… ---

I’ve > tried so many methods… But I can restore my system from snapshot.[/color] From your original post it seems libpcre.so.0 in /usr/lib64 is a file as opposed to a sym link so it must have been copied from somewhere but it’s not from SUSE hence my suspicion. I’m thinking that Novell/Micro Focus TID 7018389[1] is relevant so I suggest renaming libpcre.so.0 in /usr/lib64 to something else (suggest libpcre.so.0.old) then creating a new libpcre.so.0 sym link linking to libpcre.so.1.

Hi You need the SLE 12 SP1 SDK (DVD1) a different iso image from; [https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=jxLFbjSCKgE~](https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=jxLFbjSCKgE~) Add that as a local repo/iso image. ---
