.configure problem

I am trying to make gparted-0.2.3.
When I do a ./configure I get:

a lot of junk
...

...

But the library uuid does exist!

pelliott <at> hrnowl:/media/disk2/tmp/tmp/gparted-0.2.3> ls /lib/*uuid*
/lib/libuuid.so.1  /lib/libuuid.so.1.2
pelliott <at> hrnowl:/media/disk2/tmp/tmp/gparted-0.2.3> 

How do I address this? Thank You.

My computer's bios does not like my new scsi disk!

I just bought a $20 36g scsi disk. It seems to work work, but
unless I put "don't include in bios scan for its lun" in
my adaptec adapter's bios setup, then my bios won't even
boot my previously OK disk! The geomentry as revealed by
fdisk -l is:

hrnowl:~ # fdisk -l /dev/sdc

Disk /dev/sdc: 36.4 GB, 36420075520 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4427 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1               1        4427    35559846   83  Linux
hrnowl:~ #    

This is identical with the geometry reported by another
scsi disk I have that never caused any problems!

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Re: .configure problem

Make sure the parent directory for libuuid in included
in /etc/ld.so.conf, then run ldconfig and try the make again.

Color me green with envy.  Out of curiosity, where and how did you get
it?

I'm sorry that I don't have any help for your problem, and can only
think of the most blatantly obvious things: I assume that you set your
boot drive SCSI ID to 0 in the Adaptec adapter's BIOS setup, and that
you've rechecked the jumpers on the new drive, and that you've checked
the other Adaptec BIOS options for the new drive.  If I change boot
partition stuff, I have to re-run LILO; I don't suppose you have to
rerun grub?

You do not have to run anything with grub. You simply change grub.conf
and you are all set.

Re: .configure problem

Another thing to try is look at the bottom of the config.log file in the
same directory.  It will show the exact commands run to (and source code
used) to find libuuid and how it failed.  That being said, the most
common cause of this (as was already stated) is the lack of the
libuuid-dev package being installed.

I solved this problem, only to encounter another, it requires
gtkmm at least version 2.6. gtkmm2.6 has a list of dependencies
so I am in dependency hell! It's time to update my distro! I looked
at gtkmm web site an they have 2.8! I only have SuSe 9.3.

When does SuSE 10.1 come out?

One good thing about gtk(mm) ect, is that you can have multiple
major version installed without version self interference!

That is you can have 2.4 installed and 2.6 and 2.8 and things
linked against the different versions and have everything work.

So theoretically I could install everything, but it makes my brain
hurt!

By the way, I tried to use ubuntu live to repartition my new disk,
but once I had a swap file on the partition I wanted to do surgery
on, ubuntu live allocated the swap file at boot time, making my
partition surgery not feasible with ubuntu live!

However, the gnome people have made a copy of gparted on its own

Server Maintenance

Greetings All -

	This is not an April Fool's joke.  I will be taking the web server
off-line momentarily for maintenance and migration to the new backend
software.  I'll post an announcement here when I'm done.
