Where do I get libsysfs-dev?

niverson · 08-05-2005, 02:13 PM

I'm using fedora core 4. I have tried apt-get install libsysfs-dev, but the repositories don't have it. I'm trying to get the linux iSCSI driver working on lk2.6.

Thanks,
Nate

Humm yes, this is quite confusing, libsysfs-dev seems to be a "Debian only" package, so this probably mean fedora has this library in another package. Have you tried to install "libsysfs" or "sysfsutils" to see if you get what you need?

Also, this is relative to "udev" package, maybe Fedora provide you an already patched udev? Do you have the latest version of udev?

I have the latest kernel and kernel source for fedora core 4. I tried libsysfs with no success. I haven't tried the util... I will give it try and post the results.

Thanks for the response,
Nate

There doesn't appear to be a sysfsutils package either. The iscsi driver is failing compile because it can't find libsysfs.h. I did a find on /usr/src, but it didn't turn up the header file.

Do you have the 2.6 kernel header installed?

<edit>I believe they are called "kernel-headers-2.6" in fedora. Not quite sure. </edit>

It appears I have the latest and greatest.

I guess I will try a debian install to get the the driver to work.

Hi All, your can find the RPM package for FedoraCore just Google the following:
RPM resource /usr/include/sysfs/libsysfs.h
