Problem building Qtparted

galapogos · 11-26-2008, 03:00 AM

Hi,

I'm trying to install Qtparted on my Mandriva 2008.0 box. I downloaded the source files and tried to run configure, but I get the following error:

Code:

configure: error: *** uuid library (libuuid) not found

According to the Qtparted website, it's because e2fsprogs is required. Now the thing is...I already have e2fsprogs installed! So what else could be the problem? I thought it might be coz I need e2fsprogs-devel, but I can't find a Mandriva package of e2fspogs-devel at all.

Help?

Hi.

I think maybe the source .configure is not finding the files.

On my 64bit system the files are here...

Quote:

locate libuuid
/lib64/libuuid.so.1
/lib64/libuuid.so.1.2
/usr/lib/wine/libuuid.a
/usr/lib64/libuuid.a
/usr/lib64/libuuid.so

Try the locate command on your system and see where the files are.

Then either add then to the path (EXPORT) or use the prefix for .configure.

Hope that helps, Regards Glenn

By the way the mandriva disk manager is really good with 2009.0. ;-)

The package name for Mandriva is "libext2fs2-devel"

Thanks! I actually ended up installing the qtparted package for Mandriva, but I'll instsall libext2fs-devel anyway.
