The error is saying that it cannot find the libpcre file, which is the perl compatible regular expression library.

To fix this make sure pcre is installed and then create a symlink to the appropriate file.

On MAC run 

brew install pcre

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.35/lib/libpcre.1.dylib /usr/local/lib/libpcre.1.dylib

Make sure to change the version in the above command to the appropriate version that is installed on your system.
