Hi trdillon1, [QUOTE=trdillon1;29959]I am trying to install an application and the make fails because libudev.h is not found. I have install basically all of the libudev things. What am I missing? S | Name | Summary | Type –±---------------±--------------------------------------------------±------- i | libudev-mm0 | A Rule-Based Device Node and Kernel Event Manager | package i | libudev0 | A Rule-Based Device Node and Kernel Event Manager | package i | libudev0-32bit | A Rule-Based Device Node and Kernel Event Manager | package[/QUOTE] I’d have expected a corresponding “-devel” package - have you installed the SDK (you can download it for free and install it as an add-on product)? I’m off-site, so I currently cannot check if some matching package is provided with the SDK… Regards, Jens ---
