Unfortunately the binaries are precompiled for Ubuntu Linux and are dynamically linked. In time I will either statically link to PCRE, or provide an Arch distro.

For now, try the following for Arch: ln -s /usr/lib/libpcre.so /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3

(Will read "Lightweight Multi-Language Syntax Transformation with Parser Parser Combinators" soon.)
