ganglia libpcre not found

Another error we get when compiling the ganglia source code is

libpcre not found, specify --with-libpcre=no to build without PCRE support

To get this package on the system you can download the package and compile it onto your system

wget ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.02.tar.gz
tar -xzvf pcre-8.02.tar.gz
cd pcre-8.02
./configure
make
make install

This package does not have a lot of dependencies so it should be a clean install. Once the installation of the pcre install is complete proceed to reconfigure ganglia.
