DansGuardian Configure Error Fix - configure: error: pcre-config not found!

On running ./configure in dansguardian (web content filter for Linux), I got the following error - configure: error: pcre-config not found!
configure: WARNING: Cache variable ac_cv_prog_PCRE contains a newline.
. The solution, as usual, is simple:

Install pcre-devel. On RedHat / Fedora systems that would be:
yum install pcre-devel

Worked like a charm. I have run into this a couple of times installing DansGurdian. I always spin my wheels updating pcre even though I know the version is greater.

Thanks for the tip!
