[solved] 'zsh/pcre' error after installation

[MaxenceMax]

after installation, I have those errors :

update_terminal_cwd:12: failed to load module `zsh/pcre': dlopen(/usr/lib/zsh/5.7.1/zsh/pcre.so, 9): image not found

seems like a zsh bug,

try brew install zsh --with-pcre

maybe those can help you

• Error: failed to load module zsh/pcre zplug/zplug#457
• After Brew Upgrade now getting error. ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh#7825 (comment)

i already tried it and I have this error :

Error: invalid option: --with-pcre

[zthxxx]

I found some same questions, and a answer is just install pcre，

maybe you can try brew install pcre pcre2

I am also facing the same issue.

brew install pcre pcre2 isn't working either. @MaxenceMax Did you find any solution?

@Pensu What's your zsh version? zsh 5.7.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin18.2.0) for me

Hey @zthxxx, mice is zsh 5.7.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin19.0)

[zthxxx]

@Pensu maybe try

brew reinstall zsh 
brew reinstall pcre pcre2

sudo chsh -s `command -v zsh` $USER

to make sure it will reinstall pcre module

[zthxxx]

@Pensu

after brew install zsh, there are "two zsh",

one is /usr/local/bin/zsh, installed by brew, no problem;

and another is /bin/zsh, built-in with macOS Catalina, failed to load pcre.so.

so you need chsh to /usr/local/bin/zsh manually.

sudo chsh -s `command -v zsh` $USER

[zthxxx]

@MaxenceMax see details above

[Pensu]

@zthxxx Awesome, this works. Thanks! 👍

[MaxenceMax]

@zthxxx thank you a lot ! it's working like a charm !

Summary
