./configure: error: the HTTP rewrite module requires the PCRE library

有时候，我们需要单独安装nginx，来处理大量的下载请求。单独在Centos5安装nginx遇到的rewrite和HTTP
cache错误解决办法：

wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-0.8.33.tar.gz
tar -zxvf nginx-0.8.33.tar.gz

cd nginx-0.8.33

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx

安装Nginx时报错

./configure: error: the HTTP rewrite module requires the PCRE library.

安装pcre-devel解决问题

yum -y install pcre-devel

错误提示：./configure: error: the HTTP cache module requires md5 functions

from OpenSSL library. You can either disable the module by using

--without-http-cache option, or install the OpenSSL library into the system,

or build the OpenSSL library statically from the source with nginx by using

--with-http_ssl_module --with-openssl=<path> options.

解决办法：

yum -y install openssl openssl-devel

总结：

yum -y install pcre-devel openssl openssl-devel

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx

make

make install

一切搞定
