./configure gparted error: requires libparted >=1.7.1...but libparted1.8.so.8 exists

JZL240I-U · 07-14-2009, 03:26 AM

Well, the subject says it all. I don't get over the ./configure step when I try to compile gparted0.4.3. There is also an libparted1.8.so.8.0.0 besides libparted1.8.so.8 in /usr/lib and I copied both from /usr/lib to /lib, just to be on the secure side. I also tried to pass libparted1.8.so.8 with the „-l“ parameter

Code:

./configure -l /lib/libparted1.8.so.8

and got a configure error „unrecognized option“

.

This is on SuSE 11.0 with kernel 2.6.25.5-1.1-pae. The development headers are installed. Any idea?

Have you seen this thread: (may or may not help)

./configure --help
I think you want to know about
./configure --libexecdir=
But /lib and /usr/lib are checked automatically.

Just run ./configure, and post the end from a few lines before the first error

There is no -l option to configure. The correct way to do (usually) is:

Code:

$ export LIBS=-lparted
$ ./configure

that is the -l option will be passed to the linker. Option -l accepts the name of a library without the prefix "lib" and without the version number. Have you the proper links to the libparted library in /lib? Please, can you post the output of

Code:

ls -l /lib/libparted*

If you enable the Packman repository, you can install the binary package of gparted (no need to compile from source).

@micxz That's a solution for debian based systems, SuSE is rpm, but thanks anyhow.

@business_kid Here you are:

Code:

checking for XML::Parser... ok
checking for uuid_generate in -luuid... yes
checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes
checking for libparted >= 1.7.1... configure: error: *** Requires libparted >= 1.7.1.  Perhaps development header files missing?

help says libexecdir determines the place for program executables...

@colucix Well, help said there is an "l" option but ./configure throws an error when I use it

. Here is the output you wanted:

Code:

ls -l /lib/libparted*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     22  9. Jul 16:22 /lib/libparted-1.8.so.8 -> libparted-1.8.so.8.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 407756  6. Jun 2008  /lib/libparted-1.8.so.8.0.0

That of any help? Concerning the use of repositories, I have a 56k modem only and a line with connection rates around 1 kB/sec...
