I don't think it is available *anywhere*.  If you look here,
http://www.pcre.org/
they tell us that there are *two* versions, the original and pcre2.  It
sounds like ricin has an error in its dependencies.

Since the original is up to version 8, it might be wanting a very old
version of the library.  Seems unlikely.

I think this is the best workaround for the dependency error.

The .so number is supposed to change when the API to the library
changes.  But I think that isn't always adhered to.
