In other words, it would appear you're not using the PCRE library bundled with PHP

Perhaps not. I'm installing onto Fedora Core 4.

# rpm -q php
php-5.0.4-10.5


Perhaps this also explains why I get an HTTP REFERER error from admin_options.php?

Maybe the bug is that install.php does not test its environment to be sure the required libraries are present?

That's likely your problem.  The Fedora httpd package is patched to use the
system pcre library - otherwise another bundled copy of pcre gets linked in.

And no, it's not PunBB's fault. The function exists. It's not PunBB's job to check that the libraries linked to Apache and PHP are valid (although Rickard should probably put in some sort of check to make sure that preg expressions are supported)

Yep.  My ./configure was at fault.
