installing octave on Redhat 5.8

[parafux]

Hi,

I want to install (compile) octave locally, because i do not have any root
rights.
I used the command:
~/octave-3.8.0>./configure --prefix=/tools/octave/ 
and get the following message:
configure: error: to build Octave, you must have the PCRE library and header
files installed
but i already installed pcre into my home-dir: 
~/octave-3.8.0>ll /home/a15216/opt/local/bin/
total 256
drwxr-xr-x 2 a15216 vlsi   4096 Mar 27 07:43 ./
drwxr-xr-x 6 a15216 vlsi   4096 Mar 27 07:43 ../
-rwxr-xr-x 1 a15216 vlsi   2375 Mar 27 07:43 pcre-config*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 a15216 vlsi  86117 Mar 27 07:43 pcregrep*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 a15216 vlsi 148177 Mar 27 07:43 pcretest*
I also added the path to my PATH variable at the beginning

what do I still do wrong?

regards
parafux
