nginx configure error: the HTTP rewrite module requires the PCRE library

nginx-1.3.5 configure:

./configure: error: the HTTP rewrite module requires the PCRE library.
You can either disable the module by using --without-http_rewrite_module
option, or install the PCRE library into the system, or build the PCRE library
statically from the source with nginx by using --with-pcre=<path> option.

解决办法：

sudo yum install pcre-devel

pcre简介：perl compatible regular expresions C语言库。对应c++版本为pcre++，正则匹配方面比boost的库快。
