This is a known issue. The latest release contains information about
it in the INSTALL-file.  In short, you'll have to install the library
before the examples can be compiled _unless_ you already have a libpcre.so
installed in some place where the loader can find it (e.g. either in a
place like /usr/lib or in some directory that is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

I know this is really inconvenient, but I don't know how to solve this
issue without adding further search paths for dynamic libraries with
-rpath to the PCRE-library. A bit overkill just for the examples...

Just do a "make install" and compile the examples again. This should work.
