Debian 5 32bit - missing libpcre.so.3

[BladeArtist]

So basically, I don't really know anything about how to run a server, and I'm making this post for a friend.

Anywho, the server OS is Debian 5 32bit, and when the mta-server is run, you get this:

./mta-server: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
./

Solutions from other threads have been tried, such as..

apt-get install libpcre3

... what ever that means.

Any helpful input would be appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

Try to search topics about this, there are some around.

[BladeArtist]

I did check out like two other topics with the same problems...

I sent him the links to the provided solutions but according to him it was unsuccessful.

Then he told me to make this post.

I suppose I can ask him to try that stuff again.

[EDIT]

He says another error that pops up is:

"ERROR: Loading mod (/root/mta/mta-blade/mods/deathmatch/deathmatch.so) failed!"

[sOLVED]

apparently another error he was getting contained "libsqlite3.so.0", so he just did:

apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

So I guess,

"apt-get install libprce3

apt-get install libsqlite3-dev"

is the fix for this thing.

Anyway, thanks for the help,

BladeArtist
