Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-30 08:23:07 UTC 
Gentoo policy is not to use bundled libraries, so having it depend on an USE flag is a bad idea. Also, with pcre USE flag off, privoxy fails in this way:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `pcre/get.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output

because there is a prebuilt version in the tarball too.

And also, configure reports:

configure: WARNING: You are using the static PCRE code which is scheduled for removal, for details see:
    https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20080511195555.2dc6cfdc%40fabiankeil.de


Solution: drop the pcre USE flag and always enable dynamic pcre with libpcre as an hard dependency.

Thanks,
Diego

Hmm... I think pcre support was optional in 3.0.3.

Fixed in 3.0.9_beta-r1.
