Compiling cryptsetup 1.0.7

Hey, I've been trying to compile cryptsetup for a few hours now. I want to compile it myself because I don't trust the one in the repository. I figured out most of the errors, but now I have one I just can't solve.

Here's the error and the last few lines:

Code:

root@ingsoc:/usr/local/src/cryptsetup-1.0.7# ./configure --enable-libdevmapper

...

checking for libgcrypt-config... /usr/local/bin/libgcrypt-config

checking for LIBGCRYPT - version >= 1.1.42... yes (1.4.4)

checking whether to build libgcrypt module... yes

checking for sepol_bool_set in -lsepol... no

checking for is_selinux_enabled in -lselinux... no

checking for library containing pthread_mutex_lock... -lpthread

checking for dm_task_set_name in -ldevmapper... no

checking libdevmapper.h usability... no

checking libdevmapper.h presence... no

checking for libdevmapper.h... no

checking whether to build libdevmapper module... no

configure: error: Unable to build libdevmapper plugin, see messages above

root@ingsoc:/usr/local/src/cryptsetup-1.0.7#

For anyone else trying to compile cryptsetup you need the following packages:
e2fsprogs -- (libs) after make install do make install-libs
popt
libgcrypt
libgpg-error
gettext

Can anyone help me?

You don't say what version/distro of Linux you're on, but you need to install the libdevmapper-devel libraries. The error tells you which file you're missing, and if you go to http://rpm.pbone.net, and search for that file name, it'll return the package name.

From there, you can either download/install manually, or do it through online repos.
