Yes, I do, and it's been my fault -- I made the mistakes in the
Makefile.am and configure.ac, they forget to link leafnode (the nntpd)
against the PCRE library. Now that you installed PCRE, please try to
compile the latest leafnode snapshot from
http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/ and report back. If the snapshot
works for you, fine, if it does not, please include your config.log in
the report.


You can also fix this by adding -lpcre to the failed gcc line, like this:

gcc   -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes   -o \
leafnode  nntpd.o strlcpy.o liblnutil.a -lpcre

Then type make again to compile the rest.
