Description

When trying to inspect the heap of a binary (specifically lab7A from the Modern Binary Exploitation training), I get the following error:

In file included from /tmp/pwndbg/x86-64_struct-malloc_state.cc:74:
/usr/include/pcre2.h:965:2: error: #error PCRE2_CODE_UNIT_WIDTH must be defined before including pcre2.h.

   39 | #include <ncurses_cfg.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

It seems to be related to missing dependencies. I only see this behaviour when compiling the binary statically.

Steps to reproduce

First run the binary:

gdb ./lab7A

Then inside of GDB:

b main
r
heap

My setup

Here are the version details

Gdb:      9.1
Python:   3.8.2 (default, Apr  1 2020, 15:52:55)  [GCC 9.3.0]
Pwndbg:   1.1.0 build: f90db72
Capstone: 4.0.1024
Unicorn:  1.0.1

Also, I'm running the latest kali version:

Linux kali 5.5.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.5.17-1kali1 (2020-04-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux
