To find out if it's the first option: [ofeeley@ars ofeeley]$ locate libbz2 /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1.0.2 /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1 /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/libbz2.so.1 If you don't get similar output then try installing the bz2 library from rpms. [ofeeley@ars ofeeley]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1 bzip2-libs-1.0.2-2 If you _do_ get a similar output then you can try editing the Makefile (possibly the CFLAGS variable) to include -L/usr/lib or editiing your /etc/ld.so.conf to include /usr/lib (although it's highly unlikely it needs this as /usr/lib is a standard path!), or running ldconfig to update the cache for ld.
