I am running into an error while trying to install mediawiki

mediawiki version 1.16.0 | Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) | Linux servername 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 #1 SMP Mon Sep 20 07:12:06 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | php-5.1.6-27.el5 | sqlite-3.3.6-5

On the install/configuration page it tells me "Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki" However when I fill in all the info and click install mediawiki I encounter the following error.

Warning: preg_replace [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: this version of PCRE is not compiled with PCRE_UTF8 support at offset 0 in /var2/mediawiki-1.16.0/includes/Title.php on line 2285

Please advise. Thanks in advance.
