Related to this question: I have installed bzip2 1.0.6 by hand, but configure still fails. When I look at config.log I get the following
configure:34150: /usr/bin/gcc -std=gnu99 -o conftest -g -O2 -march=amdfam10 -g -O2 -march=amdfam10 -L/usr/local/lib64 confte st.c -lbz2 -lz -lrt -ldl -lm >&5 conftest.c: In function 'main': conftest.c:250: warning: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type conftest.c:251: warning: implicit declaration of function 'exit' conftest.c:251: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'exit' conftest.c:251: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strcmp' for the program | #ifdef HAVE_BZLIB_H | #include <bzlib.h> | #endif | int main() { | char *ver = BZ2_bzlibVersion(); | exit(strcmp(ver, "1.0.6") < 0); | } | configure:34167: result: no configure:34173: checking whether bzip2 support suffices configure:34180: error: bzip2 library and headers are required To me, it seems as if the test might be broken. I'll do some more investigation, but thought I would report this. It works for libz which I also had to install by hand.
