seems the same with pcre 5.0 on Debian

ftype-pcre.c: In function 'pcre_tuple_new':
ftype-pcre.c:52: warning: implicit declaration of function 'ep_malloc'
ftype-pcre.c:52: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without
a cast
ftype-pcre.c:63: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete
type 'pcre'
ftype-pcre.c:64: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete
type 'pcre'


pcre.h has declared pcre but not defined it, see the excerpt of pcre.h :

---
struct real_pcre; /* declaration; the definition is private  */
typedef struct real_pcre pcre;
---
You can't then use sizeof() ...

and ep_malloc does not exist ;)
