parted: Software Required
1.2 Software Required for the use of Parted
===========================================
If you're installing or compiling Parted yourself, you'll need to have
some other programs installed. If you are compiling Parted, you will
need both the normal and devel packages of these programs installed:
* libuuid, part of the e2fsprogs package. If you don't have this,
you can get it from:
<http://web.mit.edu/tytso/www/linux/e2fsprogs.html>
If you want to compile Parted and e2fsprogs, note that you will
need to 'make install' and 'make install-libs' e2fsprogs.
* GNU Readline (optional), available from
<ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline>
If you are compiling Parted, and you don't have readline, you can
disable Parted's readline support with the '--disable-readline'
option for 'configure'.
* GNU gettext (or compatible software) for compilation, if
internationalisation support is desired.
<ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext>
* libreiserfs, if you want reiserfs support:
<http://reiserfs.osdn.org.ua>
Note that parted will automatically detect libreiserfs at runtime,
and enable reiserfs support. libreiserfs is new, and hasn't been
widely tested yet.
