Hi everybody,
I had a problem during the installation of GNUParted. Making ./configure
it gave to me the following error message

configure: error: GNU Parted requires libuuid - a part of the
e2fsprogs package.
This can probably be found on your distribution's CD or FTP site or at:
http://web.mit.edu/tytso/www/linux/e2fsprogs.html
Note: if you are using precompiled packages you will also need the
development
package as well (which may be called e2fsprogs-devel or something
similar).
So I looked for libuuid to check if it really isn't on my linux.
#>cd /
#>find . -name \*libuuid\*
/lib/libuuid.so.1 /lib/libuuid.so.1.2
#>find . -name e2fsprogs\*
./usr/share/doc/e2fsprogs-1.32 # a documentation dir
The question is : if there is libuuid why the configure script didn't
find them ?
I use a Linux 2.4.20-8 on a RedHat 9.
You probably don't have the development files. There is probably a
package with the name uuid-dev or libuuid-dev or something similar.
That package should install /usr/include/uuid/uuid.h and other files
which parted needs to link against libuuid.
