libpcre is missing while update Zabbix

I try to update Zabbix version from source. Now installed 3.2.1 version and Zabbix works properly. I do /tmp/zabbix-3.4.3/configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-libxml2 and error appears:

... ... checking for libevent support... yes checking for libpcre support... no configure: error: Unable to use libpcre (libpcre check failed)
I’ve tried with keys –with-libpcre-include=/usr/lib64/ or/and –with-libpcre=/usr/lib64/ - the same effect. I’ve reinstall and update this library to newest version.
Output library folder:

There are config file and log file. There isn’t Internet connection on vitrual machine. SElinux and Apparmor are disabled. How can I fix the issue? Please, help me!

Hi
Whenever compiling and see a missing package, it will be the devel one… I see no pcre-devel package installed (will be on the SDK)…

I’m a bit suspicious of /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0 - what does “rpm -qf
/usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0” report?

HTH.

It says:
zabbix:~ # rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0
file /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0 is not owned by any package
May be I made this symlink manually, honestly I don’t remember. I’ve tried so many methods… But I can restore my system from snapshot.

I downloaded devel-RPM from rpmfind.net and tried to install it:
zabbix:~ # rpm -Uvh /tmp/pcre-devel-8.41-3.fc28.x86_64.rpm
warning: /tmp/pcre-devel-8.41-3.fc28.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 9db62fb1: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:

pcre-utf32(x86-64) = 8.41-3.fc28 is needed by pcre-devel-8.41-3.fc28.x86_64
Original version (on DVD) is 8.33:
zabbix:~ # find /mnt/DVD/ -name “pcre” -type f
/mnt/DVD/suse/x86_64/libpcre1-32bit-8.33-3.314.x86_64.rpm
/mnt/DVD/suse/x86_64/libpcre1-8.33-3.314.x86_64.rpm
/mnt/DVD/suse/x86_64/libpcre16-0-8.33-3.314.x86_64.rpm
But there isn’t version 8.33 on the site rpmfind.net. So how can I install devel package? Does not devel RPM installed because of a version mismach or the installation package doesn’t see libpcre?

From your original post it seems libpcre.so.0 in /usr/lib64 is a
file as opposed to a sym link so it must have been copied from
somewhere but it’s not from SUSE hence my suspicion.

I’m thinking that Novell/Micro Focus TID 7018389[1] is relevant so
I suggest renaming libpcre.so.0 in /usr/lib64 to something else
(suggest libpcre.so.0.old) then creating a new libpcre.so.0 sym
link linking to libpcre.so.1.

HTH.

Hi
You need the SLE 12 SP1 SDK (DVD1) a different iso image from;

https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=jxLFbjSCKgE~

Add that as a local repo/iso image.

I did it and got the same error (is not owned by any package).

Great! Your advice solved my problem!
Thank you very much to all!
