ZoneMinder Forums

I am new to Zoneminder. My zoneminder could work normally in the local mode, but couldn't work in the remote mode.

There is the /var/log/messages digests about "err":

Thank you very much!

What distro do you have? libpcre is missing...

yum install pcre
yum install pcre-devel

Should be done before running ./configure

distro: FC4
Is libpcre neccessary for ZoneMinder?
And are all of errors caused by libpcre?
ps: the local mode can work fine.

No. If you do not use regecps for the netcams then you do not need libpcre.a, though sometimes this doesn't always work with some cams.
