You may get a below error while installing NGINX  with http_stub_status_module  module

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx   --with-http_stub_status_module

Error :


checking for PCRE library in /usr/pkg/ ... not found

checking for PCRE library in /opt/local/ ... not found



./configure: error: the HTTP rewrite module requires the PCRE library.

You can either disable the module by using --without-http_rewrite_module

option, or install the PCRE library into the system, or build the PCRE library

statically from the source with nginx by using --with-pcre=<path> option.


Soluton :

The HTTP rewrite module requires the pcre-devel package so install in your system using yum command
 
# yum install pcre-devel
