Ah I see where I went wrong. After you extract the zip, you have to create the pcre.h (and other files) using the configure and make commands. There are instructions in the INSTALL file (its in upper case - I'm not shouting). I did this long ago, so I forgot that step.
I would extract the zip file to a different directory though, you don't want to clutter up your project with someone else's project.
