Hi All, I tried to install Monet DB from the Ubuntu repository source and it is still giving the same error. I tried using the install script and getting the Error: configure: error: MonetDB 5 requires PCRE >= 4.5 with UTF-8 support (pcretest says 'No UTF-8 support') Here is the complete log . I am using the command ./monetdb-install.sh --prefix=/local/MonetDB --enable-geom --nightly=stable --enable-optimize * Processing MonetDB5-server ./configure --prefix='/local/MonetDB' --enable-optimize --disable-debug --disable-assert --disable-strict checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... mawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking how to create a ustar tar archive... gnutar checking for monetdb-config... /local/MonetDB/bin/monetdb-config checking whether MonetDB Common version 1.34.0 or newer is installed... yes: found version 1.34.5 checking for monetdb-clients-config... /local/MonetDB/bin/monetdb-clients-config checking whether MonetDB Clients version 1.34.0 or newer is installed... yes: found version 1.34.5 checking for style of include used by make...
