I solved it by specifying the full path to the pcre-config file. In other words, instead of:

--with-pcre=/u01/app/apache/pcre/bin

I did:

--with-pcre=/u01/app/apache/pcre/bin/pcre-config

This is a shell script and thus it must begin with #!/path/to/interpreter . The most probable cause of your problem is, that this path is bad. For example it is #!/bin/perl although your perl is in /usr/bin. Check this, if it is not ok, fix it manually and retry.

Installed pcre-8.37 from pcre.org .os is rhel 7.3 and httpd 2.4.23.After installing pcre there was no need to show the path explicitly
