Hi, first time going through the process of compiling. Confused in one area about prerequisites regarding the pcre, zlib and openssl libraries.

Running Centos 7 64.

If I yum install in centos the pcre-devel, zlib-devel, and openssl-devel libraries ahead of compiling Nginx from source, do I still need to make separate installations of these three libraries and set "–with-pcre=*path*" and "–with-zlib=*path*" in the ./configure script, as stated in the nginx docs?

https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/tutorials/installoptions/

If so, is there a best practices as to where these three libraries are to be installed?

Thanks! Mark
