That error indicates that your system doesn't have development headers for pcre.

The easiest way to get them is to install brew if you haven't already: https://brew.sh/ And then:

brew install pcre

Installed the latest gcc version as well. Even after doing the above steps I am facing issue in stack build. I am using M1 Chip, macOS Monterey Version 12.2.1

Even I have the same error and I have installed prce using brew

@tiiyuu based on @shubhamchaurasia1 comment, I installed pcre on my ubuntu 20.04 device (sudo apt install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev) and it all went well. I didn't have any issue on my mac (running with intel chip) as the readme suggested to install pcre first
