./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.
Ubuntu15 compiles and installs nginx and reports the above error:
Need to install the pcre package, openssl; execute the command
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev
2. After installing OpenSSL and pcre: recompile nginx and report an error:
Configuration summary + using system PCRE library + OpenSSL library is not used + using system zlib library
Workaround (specify openssl): sudo ./configure --prefix=/data/server/nginx/nginx-1.13.9/ --with-http_ssl_module
Original command: sudo ./configure --prefix=/data/server/nginx/nginx-1.13.9/
