最近在学习nginx，nginx rewrite依赖于PCRE库，所以需要在linux系统中编译安装PCRE库。具体步骤如下：
1.下载PCRE包
首先去官网下载pcre的安装包
如果通过FTP的方式，下载地址为：[ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/]ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/()
如果通过http的方式，下载地址为：http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcre/files/pcre/
目前最新的版本为8.32，linux对应的安装包名称为：pcre-8.32.tar.gz。
2.把安装包上传到服务器，然后解压
[root@localhost local]# tar -zxvf pcre-8.32.tar.gz
解压之后在当前目录下生成了一个文件夹：pcre-8.32
drwxr-xr-x 7 1169 1169 4096 Nov 30 18:50 pcre-8.32
3.配置
[root@localhost pcre-8.32]# ./configure
pcre-8.32 configuration summary:

4.编译
执行make操作：
编译完后可以执行make check进行测试（这一步非必须）
Testing pcregrep version 8.32 2012-11-30
Testing pcregrep main features
Skipping pcregrep UTF-8 tests: no UTF-8 support in PCRE library
Testing pcregrep newline settings
PASS: RunGrepTest
==================
All 5 tests passed
==================
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/pcre-8.32'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/pcre-8.32'
[root@localhost pcre-8.32]#
上面的make check结果中有一句:
Skipping pcregrep UTF-8 tests: no UTF-8 support in PCRE library
这是因为在前面步骤中执行./configuration配置时没有加上对utf-8的支持
如果要加上对utf-8的支持可以在./configuration时加上参数：
[root@localhost pcre-8.32]# ./configure --enable-utf8
配置完后再重新make
make完后再次执行make check结果如下：
Testing pcregrep version 8.32 2012-11-30
Testing pcregrep main features
Testing pcregrep UTF-8 features
Testing pcregrep newline settings
PASS: RunGrepTest
==================
All 5 tests passed
==================
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/pcre-8.32'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/pcre-8.32'
[root@localhost pcre-8.32]#
5.安装
执行make install操作：
[root@localhost pcre-8.32]# make install
make install结束后pcre编译安装流程就结束了。
