Re: [help-recutils] Issue with UUID as a field type

[Jose E. Marchesi]

Hi Eric.
    
    I'm getting errors when trying to use UUID as a field type:
    
    $ recfix --version
    recfix (GNU recutils) 1.7
    
    $ recfix uuid.rec
    uuid.rec:3: error: the referred type uuid does not exist

Looks like your recutils was built without uuid support.  This may
happen because:
- Your distro decided to disable that support for some reason when they
  built the package.
- You built it yourself but you dont have libuuid.  In that case the
  configure script will disable uuid support in the build, emitting a
  warning.
You mention homebrew on OSX, which seems to be a package manager, so
your problem seems to be the first one.
