When you ran configure did it have:
Checking for PCRE ...
Found PCRE include files in /usr/local/include
Found PCRE libraries in /usr/local/lib
Yes.
OR...
in /usr/local/lib/ is there a libpcre.so or just a libpcre.a ?
If its just a libpcre.a file its a static lib and it won't show up as being part of a dynamic dependancy as the code will be linked it directly.
Both.
$ls -l /usr/local/lib|grep pcre

So, you think it's seeing the libpcre.a and just building it statically? In that case, wouldn't the binary be slightly larger like the original build I had?
