Version 0.6.1 works fine.

I guess the version in title is wrong? I start to get this very same error on 0.7.0 while 0.6.1 was working fine.

On 0.7.0, if you compiled it yourself, you must put '--enable-dns' in configure or it won't build with dns support, so names in config will fail. On 0.6.1, I don't see a reason.

[felixonmars]

I see. Thanks.

I have opened https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/sniproxy/-/issues/2 at Arch Linux for this.

Could you please confirm which version version of libpcre you build against? Did you include --enable-dns when you ran configure?

I'm not able to reproduce this on Debian 13 with libpcre2:
