I'm reading some readmes and they contain some packages with "-devel", and some without. What is the difference?
sudo yum install gcc
(vs)
sudo yum install pcre-devel
What would happen if I installed "sudo yum install pcre" instead?

Devel libraries typically contain development header and debug resources that are not necessary for the end-user runtime. These headers and debug resources are used for the purpose of developing applications based on the library; not just running applications that require the library. If you install the package without -devel, it only installs the end-user runtime, and not the development headers and debug symbols.
