[Xapian-devel] uuid configure issue?

I'm trying to build xapian-core-1.2.2 on Linux. After manually installing
uuid.h and libuuid.a from e2fsprogs-1.41.12, I receive the following
configure error:

checking for uuid.h... yes
checking for uuid_create... no
configure: error: uuid.h found, but uuid_create() not found.  You probably
wants to install libuuid from e2fsprogs (you may need to install the
uuid-dev, libuuid-devel or e2fsprogs-devel package)


However, there is no uuid_create in uuid.h/libuuid.a.

This thread on gmane leads me to believe this might be from an attempt to
make the configure work for FreeBSD, since it says the FreeBSD comes with
uuid_create out of the box instead of uuid_generate.

Am I on track?
