>Description:
port of php 5.3.3_2 builds and installs OK, but web sites fail with pcre errors, e.g. in mediawika, traceback shows Internal pcre_fullinfo() error
>How-To-Repeat:
install pcre 5.3.3_2, apache 2, and mediawiki and try any mediawiki page
>Fix:
In lang/php5/Makefile, change

               --with-pcre-regex=${LOCALBASE} \

to

               --with-pcre-regex

and rebuild and reinstall

phpinfo now reports pcre version 8.02 2010-03-19 which works; previously reported an older version (which, of course, I forgot to write down)

It's possible it would be better to adjust the Makefile to require devel/pcre to be a new enough version, but I didn't check.
