This is the version which came with the machine, which is Red Hat
Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant).
There should be a 7 years period for  RHEL distros.
Moreover, trying :
rpm -e pcre
gives to much dependencies. So it is a problem to upgrade.

answers:

1) pkg-config --list-all | egrep pcre"
returns nothing.

2) man pcreapi first screen is:
