I am trying to implement loop-AES on a Fedora 8 installation without success at the moment. I have followed Jari's instructions in section 4 of the loop-AES.README, "Instructions for building new mount, umount, losetup, swapon and swapoff". Fedora 8 uses util-linux-ng instead of util-linux and so I followed the alternative instructions of: bzip2 -d -c util-linux-ng-2.13.0.1.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - cd util-linux-ng-2.13.0.1 patch -p1 </PATH/TO/LOOP-AES/util-linux-ng-2.13.0.1.diff CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" ./configure make SUBDIRS=mount When I get to the configure step, everything seems to go well and then I receive the following: checking for uuid_is_null in -luuid... no configure: WARNING: uuid library is not found; mkswap(8) will not generate UUIDs checking for openpty in -lutil... yes checking for tgetnum in -ltermcap... no checking for blkid_known_fstype in -lblkid... no configure: error: blkid or volume_id is needed to build util-linux-ng. I also tried CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" ./configure --with-fsprobe and got similiar results: checking for uuid_is_null in -luuid... no configure: WARNING: uuid library is not found; mkswap(8) will not generate UUIDs checking for openpty in -lutil... yes checking for tgetnum in -ltermcap... no configure: error: blkid or volume_id is needed to build util-linux-ng. I think from my reading that util-linux-ng depends upon e2fsprogs and udev which I have the rpms installed for: e2fsprogs-libs-1.40.2-11.fc8 e2fsprogs-1.40.2-11.fc8 udev-116-3.fc8 So I am not sure what I am missing. Any ideas? If more information is needed, please let me know. Thanks! Doug - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
