libstuff/libstuff.h:5:10: fatal error: arpa/inet.h: No such file or directory

Hi! I'm trying to build Bedrock by following the Bedrock installation guide for MacOS. I'm getting the following error when I try to run make

g++-9 -g -std=c++17 -fpic -O2  -Wall -Werror -Wformat-security -DGIT_REVISION=2dac88d -I/Users/jasper.huang/Desktop/Personal_Projects/Bedrock -I/Users/jasper.huang/Desktop/Personal_Projects/Bedrock/mbedtls/include -MD -MF libstuff/libstuff.d -MT libstuff/libstuff.h.gch -c libstuff/libstuff.h
libstuff/libstuff.h:45:10: fatal error: pcrecpp.h: No such file or directory
   45 | #include <pcrecpp.h> // sudo apt-get install libpcre++-dev
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** No rule to make target 'libstuff/libstuff.d', needed by '.build/libstuff/SData.d'.  Stop.

This is how my system ./configure command looks after updating pcre like it says in the instructions. I am unsure whether this is correct:

system "./configure --enable-cpp --enable-pcre64 CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++-9 CXXFLAGS=--std=gnu++14", *args

Am I missing anything? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to figure this same error out on Ubuntu 23.10 in 2024 and will report back to this issue.
NOTE: For Ubuntu 23.10 the libpcre++-dev is not included in PPA and can be removed from the apt install line in the docs for Ubuntu 20+.

This issue may be closed, or the documentation updated and then closed, as this is very specific to Ubuntu version, PPA sources and user specific.
