i think you are missing kernel headers (linux headers in some places they are called).

{BBI}Nexus{BBI} · 11-29-2009, 04:44 AM

You can satisfy the missing:

zlib - by installing the package zlib1g-dev

blkid - by installing the package libblkid-dev

I have no idea what -lcrypt is for or how to add it.

I have run

Code:

apt-get install zlib1g-dev

apt-get install libblkid-dev

but I have the same error!!!

try

Code:

apt-get install uuid-dev zlib1g-dev

Is there a special reason why you are compiling util-linux instead of installing from the repositories using sudo apt-get or via synaptic? If you are running Karmic the available version is 2.16, which is newer than the version you are trying to install.

knudfl · 11-29-2009, 05:43 AM

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic : util-linux 2.16-1ubuntu5
Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty : util-linux 2.14.2-1ubuntu4
.. util-linux is installed by default, always.

The command : dpkg -L util-linux | grep bin
.. will show that you already have all the util-linux commands in place.

Attempting to compile an old version util-linux-2.12p
from year 2004 will probably require old headers.
Ubuntu 5.10 is the last with 2.12p ? : October 2005.

I need to compile because I need some file like :

fdisk/fdisk
login-utils/login
misc-utils/kill
mount/mount
mount/swapon

knudfl · 11-30-2009, 03:29 PM

Ubuntu 9.04

REPEAT, REPEAT : dpkg -L util-linux | grep bin
→ result :
/sbin/fdisk .. and a lot more.
But there is no command 'fdisk'. There is 'sudo fdisk'.
.....
.....

/bin/login :
'login' is a package : sudo apt-get install login
( but is always installed at OS install.)

/bin/kill : sudo apt-get install procps

/bin/mount : sudo apt-get install mount
( is already installed.)
/sbin/swapon : also in package 'mount'.
> > and please use 'sudo swapon'

.....
.....

And do not expect very old packages to compile.
