Problems (#1) - bluetooth library (#22) - Message List

bluetooth library
 unsolved

I've installed all packages that are required... including bluez-libs... but when I run a configure, I get a bluetooth library not found...

system-config-services shows that bluetooth is running.. what am I missing?

Thanks for the help.. cwiid is amazing! (used it on another machine)

    The configure script is verifying the existence of the hci_devid function in libbluetooth (configure.ac). Possibilities:

    1. autoconf can't find libbluetooth.so - make sure the file or symlink exists
    2. you have an old bluez-lib version that doesn't contain hci_devid
    3. you have an new bluez-lib version that doesn't contain hci_devid (not likely)
    4. fubar

    I'm guessing 1. Thanks for the kind words. Let us know how it works out.

      1. /usr/lib/ contains 2 such files: libbluetooth.so.2 and libbluetooth.so.2.4.1 2. bluez-libs version installed is 3.7-1

      So I'm thinking somehow a problem with the first?

              According to  http://www.wiili.org/index.php/CWiid, (which I assume is up to date), the required packages are: 

              autoconf, autotools-dev, libbluetooth2-dev, libgtk2.0-dev (for the GUI), flex, bison

              I suspect libbluetooth2-dev is what you need.

            What distro are you running? There may be a bluez-dev package or similar.

                Google search turns up some references to a bluez-devel package - I'd try that. I'm not terribly familiar with Fedora.

                  I installed that along with all the other bluez packages.. i think there was one other I didn't have installed and it worked... compilation worked, on to the install... thanks again!
