Brilliant ;  --with-pcre=/opt was all that was needed!

And the pcre 8.20 version was accepted (for the sake of this record,
version 3.4 was the *minimum* requirement); I configured pcre with:
./configure --enable-utf8 --prefix=/opt
after feedback from 'make check'

Thanks again!

Michael

./configure --with-pcre=/opt --prefix=/opt
