I have pcre2 10.33 installed in /usr/local. I previously specified --with-pcre-regex=/usr/local.

I receive the following messages checking for libpcre2-8 >= 10.30... no configure: error: Package requirements (libpcre2-8 >= 10.30) were not met: No package 'libpcre2-8' found Expected result: ---------------- I have pcre2 installed in /usr/local. php 7.3. configure used it with --with-pcre-regex=/usr/local however --with-external-pcre2=/usr/local in php 7.4 does not work. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79479&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79479&r=mysqlcfg
