None of this is relevant for 64-bit systems; zsh should compile and run without problems if (sizeof(long) == 8). +Searching for `pcre' +-------------------- + +Zsh has a module which allows the pcre regular expression library to be +used via shell builtins.

For this reason, +pcre support will only be searched for if the option --enable-pcre +is passed to configure. + +(Future versions of the shell may have a better fix for this problem.) + Options For Configure --------------------- |
