PCRE library needed

When I trying to ./configure a package it requires PCRE library and header files.

I try sudo apt-get install PCRe but no package found.

then I download the PCRE.tar file and unzip and ran ./configure and it needs additional dependency.

what's the best way to install PCRE in the pi?

Try apt-get install libpcre3-dev to get the PCRE developement files and headers.
