[SOLVED] When installing php oauth package: Couldn't find pcre.h, try installing the libpcre development/headers package

I need to install oauth (pecl install oauth) for a 3rd party package. I have both pcre & pcre2 installed using Homebrew but still oauth complains about not finding pcre.h. I'm on macOS Ventura 13.1 with an M1 Pro. The wanted php version is 7.3 but all php versions have the same issue. The pcre.h does exist ánd is located under /opt/homebrew/Cellar/pcre/8.45/include/pcre.h.
