<div>That was the problem. I manually copied uuid.h and libuuid.a to /usr/local/*. Once I moved uuid.h to /usr/local/include/uuid/uuid.h configure worked fine.</div><div><br></div><div>Before I did any of this, I did a "make install" on e2fsprogs. The build did get hung up on some doc-build part because I don't have texi2dvi installed, but I don't see any target to install libuuid.a or uuid.h, only one to install the binaries for uuid and uuidgen. </div>
