Hi Hugh,

Sorry, I just read the end of your message where you mention that you do have 
my pcre-6.7-1.0.SOL1.i386.rpm already installed.

It is part of the Solarspeed PHP-5.2.0, PHP-5.2.1 or PHP-5.2.2 PKGs. 

PHP-5.2.X requires a more modern PCRE than the stock one that's included in 
CentOS-4. Hence my the PHP5 PKG's contain that updated PCRE.

Your problem here is that the custom PHP you have installed only contained the 
pcre-6.7-1.0.SOL1.i386.rpm, whereas you also need the 
pcre-devel-6.7-1.0.SOL1.i386.rpm for your mod_perl compilation.   

Run the following command to install the pcre-devel package:

rpm -hUv 
http://bq.solarspeed.net/pub/BlueQuartz/5100R/CentOS4/bluequartz/i386/RPMS/pcre-devel-6.7-1.0.SOL1.i386.rpm

(all in one line - as root from SSH)

Once that is done you can install httpd-devel through yum:

yum install httpd-devel
