I am trying to start mongod but I get

$ mongod

mongod --help for help and startup options

mongod: symbol lookup error: mongod: undefined symbol: _ZN7pcrecpp2RE4InitEPKcPKNS_10RE_OptionsE

Searching on google it seems to be related with libpcre; I tried to install last versions of libpcre3 and libpcre++ but it doesn't work.

MongoDB shell's version (and mongodb-server's version) is 2.0.4. Ubuntu's version is 12.04. libpcre3's version is 8.12-4. libpcre++0's version is 0.9.5-5.1.

Thanks

We had the same issue, and we're not sure what caused it.

We tried to reinstall via apt-get, after purging and such, to no avail.

We downloaded the 64-bit precompiled version from the MongoDB website and tried running mongod from that package, and it started up fine. You'll probably want to stick with the 2.0.4 version - we used this file.

We moved the files in bin/ to /usr/bin, and mongod was starting correctly again.

This isn't a nice fix, but it does work.
