Upgrading dmraid rc15 to rc16 from source

[giyad]

I have the .tar.bz2 of dmraid rc16 that I got from here (http://people.redhat.com/%7Eheinzm/sw/dmraid/)and I already have rc15 installed. I want to know how to upgrade the package from this source file?

I got these steps from here (http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dmraid/readme)

to build in an empty directory and install from source

tar jxvf dmraid-1.0.0.rc16.tar.bz2
./configure # see ./configure --help for options
make
make install


but I'm running into problems, can someone simplify them for me? (Linux noob here)

In case this helps, its my output from following the commands above:

no one can help me out?

[giyad]

seriously.. no one knows how to install from source...

You have the answer in the output. Check the lines where an error occures. At first glance I noticed the line

activate/devmapper.c:15:26: error: libdevmapper.h: No such file or directory

so the Header-File(s) of the essential devicemapper can't be found.
First make shure that all source packages are installed. Use the package manager and search for devmapper. Normally the sources are not installed by default.
I have no Linux here, but I think you then find it in /usr/lib or just run a find command. Now you can copy them to the lib (include) directory you are using in the Makefile ../dmraid/1.0.0.rc16/include/dmraid or you advise the Makefile to use the existing directory.

The next problem you would run into is, that the Header-Files are there but the Objects-Files not. Just do the same, copy them to ../dmraid/1.0.0.rc16/lib or include the existing directory.

You will need the libdevmapper and libdevmapper-event Header- and Object-Files to succesfully finish the recompilation

I will look this over when I'am back on a Linux on Monday, Excuse if there are any errors. I've done this by heart. Just follow the output error messages and you'll get through.
