Description

I am working through the LFS book (version SVN-20120311) and got to section 6.23 E2fsprogs-1.42. The configure step failed with "error: C compiler cannot create executables". I tracked it down to LDFLAGS="-lblkid -luuid" being set for the configure script. The blkid library wasn't in /usr/lib/.

Went back to section 6.21 Util-linux-2.21 and added an explicit location for util-linux to install itself and its libraries to:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib

After recompiling util-linux, e2fsprogs compiled and installed just fine.
