undefined reference to `pcre_config'

Hi, I'm trying to build MonetDB from source and running into an error during configure. Running ./configure gives: ... ... checking for SHA256... yes checking for SHA384... yes checking for SHA512... yes checking for pcre... yes checking whether pcre comes with UTF-8 support... no configure: error: PCRE library not found but required for MonetDB5 At the bottom of the email is the error in the config.log. pcretest -C gives me: PCRE version 8.38 2015-11-23 Compiled with:q 8-bit support UTF-8 support Unicode properties support No just-in-time compiler support Newline sequence is LF \R matches all Unicode newlines Internal link size = 2 POSIX malloc threshold = 10 Parentheses nest limit = 250 Default match limit = 10000000 Default recursion depth limit = 10000000 Match recursion uses stack The issue, I think, is I have PCRE version 8.38 built in a non-standard location, /home/john/monetdb_prereq/pcre export pcre_LIBS=-L/home/john/monetdb_prereq/pcre/lib export pcre_CFLAGS=-I/home/john/monetdb_prereq/pcre/include Any idea what I'm missing?
