Compiling Agent for 4.2.1 on i686 CentOS 7.6 Fails With libpcre Support

[mbelanger]

Greetings,

Desperately trying to add a couple of legacy i686 boxes to monitoring and unable to find a pre-compiled solution, I tried to build my own. Unfortunately, the process is failing during configure.

root@cense:/usr/local/src/zabbix-4.2.1 # ./configure --enable-agent --with-libpcre-lib=/usr/lib
checking...
<truncated for brevity>
checking for libpcre support... configure: error: Unable to use libpcre (libpcre check failed)
root@cense:/usr/local/src/zabbix-4.2.1 #

I have the libs installed:

root@cense:/usr/local/src/zabbix-4.2.1 # rpm -ql pcre
/usr/lib/libpcre.so.1
/usr/lib/libpcre.so.1.2.0
/usr/lib/libpcre16.so.0
/usr/lib/libpcre16.so.0.2.0
/usr/lib/libpcre32.so.0
/usr/lib/libpcre32.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libpcrecpp.so.0
/usr/lib/libpcrecpp.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libpcreposix.so.0
/usr/lib/libpcreposix.so.0.0.1

Do I have the wrong version of libpcre?

Here's the CentOS version I'm trying to build on:

root@cense:/usr/local/src/zabbix-4.2.1 # cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (AltArch)

Any suggestions appreciated,
MB

Configure and make succeeded only with the following procedure.

by root:

# yum groupinstall 'Development tools'
# yum install pcre-devel

by user:

$ tar zxvf zabbix-4.2.1.tar.gz
$ cd zabbix-4.2.1/
$ ./configure --enable-agent
$ make

env.:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (AltArch)
# uname -a
Linux zi686.localdomain 3.10.0-957.12.2.el7.centos.plus.i686 #1 SMP Thu May 16 01:30:56 UTC 2019 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Thank you, Atsushi, that did the trick!
