[Xapian-devel] uuid configure issue?

[David Jeske]

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.

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.
