[Xastir] map levels don't work

Ok, I tried to install PCRE... downloaded version pcre-5.0 from the pcre site. 
Did the standard ./configure , make , su, make install.  Re-did xastir and it
showed it found PCRE.

Now when I run xastir, I get
# xastir &
xastir: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
[1] 14321
[1]   Exit 127                xastir

What did I miss this time?

I did see in the readme.win32 a mention of pcre-dev, but I find no dev package
on the pcre web site.  I'm running a debian variant, not cygwin, FWIW.
