Topic: Error when compiling in RHEL 5

I get this error when doing ./configure
checking for uuid_generate in -luuid... yes
checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes
checking for libparted >= 1.7.1... configure: error: *** Requires libparted >= 1.7.1

but the thing is I have the files in the machine:

/usr/bin/libparted-1.8.so.0.0.1
/usr/bin/libparted-1.8.so.0
/usr/lib/libparted-1.8.so.0.0.1
/usr/lib/libparted-1.8.so.0

The question is why do I get this error, if I have libparted??

Philip

Re: Error when compiling in RHEL 5

The problem probably come from your system : You need to run some kind of "ldconfig". The problem is that GParted doesn't see your built-in lbparted.
Look at the configure file : I don't remember where gparted search for parted libs ...
