okay, I thought PAN has 2 branches: stable and testing. I did not know
that 0.14 was obsolete. Web-site did not offer much information on it.

yes, CentOS 4.0 was released on March 2nd of 2005. The 4.x are just
with new security updates keeping the base system same. Anyway, I
tried installing 0.133 and got this error:



checking for PCRE... configure: error: Package requirements (libpcre
   >= 5.0) were not met:

Package libpcre was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpcre.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libpcre' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PCRE_CFLAGS
and PCRE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

address@hidden pan-0.133]$ pcretest -s
PCRE version 4.5 01-December-2003

If I install the newer pcre in /usr/local , will it break my existing
system. I can't take the risk as its office computer, not mine. Or you
guys can suggest some other older version or some other older
Newsreader.
