If you do the same then be aware that as well as the usual linux packages, you will also need "check", "uuid-dev" and "bash-builtins" for a successful build. Perhaps its obvious that they would be required, but its certainly not documented - at least as far as I could discover. Sorry that this was perhaps off-topic, but it might be useful for others. These dependencies are documented in the README-dev file at the top directory of the recutils source distribution. Excerpt: Dependencies ------------ There are some third party dependencies needed to build some of the utilities shipped in this distribution. The configure script checks for the needed packages and drives the conditional compilation of the impacted utitilities. The dependencies are: - The testing infrastructure uses the Check library. At the moment the svn version of the library if needed. The configure script will check if you have the right version. libcheck can be obtained at http://sourceforge.net/projects/check/. The following dependencies are optional. Missing them will result in a less capable software: - The GNU Privacy Guard (gnupg) is required in order to support encryption. The following libraries are required: libgpg-error and libgcrypt. Any recent version of those libraries will work. gnupg can be obtained at http://gnupg.org. - libcurl is required for supporting remote descriptors. Any recent version must work. The library can be obtained at http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/. - The mdbtools are required for building the mdb2rec utility. mdbtools can be obtained at http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net. - The UUID library from Theodore Ts'o is required for the uuid type. In Debian-like systems that library is packaged under the name uuid-dev and the runtime under the name libuuid1. - The algol68toc compiler is required for building the Algol68 bindings.
