Thread:Project:Support desk/Upgrading PCRE

Dreamhost FireFTP MediaWiki PCRE 8.32, needing trying to upgrade to 8.37

I'm trying to install Scribunto, which says you should upgrade from 8.32

I've downloaded the 8.37 tarball, but I have no idea what to do with it. I have the FTP open, but I'm not seeing where to put it. I've tried looking at the Readme on the site, and it says a bunch of stuff I don't understand, like CMake and ./configure and I don't know where to start or what to do. I just want to upgrade PCRE on my site so the extension won't mess up.

All I want to do is get an Infobox working. I'm grasping for straws, here.
