Check to see whether you have installed devel/pcre.  You almost certainly
have. You probably updated devel/pcre either intentionally or by installing
something that depended on the new version.

UPDATING 20120204 indicates that there is a way to update devel/pcre so that
the old shared libraries will be preserved.  That, however, does not work. 
(Does anyone ever test stuff put in UPDATING?)


So, in /usr/local/lib make a symbolic link to libpcre.so.1 from libpcre.so.0
.

That's not the "right answer,"  but it will work.
