There is a pcre-devel-4.5-3 installed:

Wow. If that really means PCRE 4.5, that's a *really* old version; the current version is 7.9:

The /usr/include/pcre/pcre.h is part of this package.

Perhaps, in that old version, you were supposed to include <pcre/ pcre.h>, but, at least according to the documentation for PCRE 7.9 on the PCRE Web site, you're supposed to include <pcre.h>.

Is there a "pkg-config" command on your system?

If so, what does "pkg-config --list-all | egrep pcre" print?

And...

/usr/share/man/man3/pcreapi.3.gz

...what's the first screenful of the output of "man pcreapi"?
