Gluster users - Dec 2015 - installing glusterfs-coreutils on ubuntu

The documentation requires installing "glusterfs-api-devel", which
isn't
available in the Ubuntu PPA. However, I do have the header files that I
believe ./configure is looking for installed but can't seem to point
./configure to them using CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, etc. I also tried to use the
--with-glusterfs ./configure option as well. What's the proper way to do
this?

output of ./configure where it halts:

checking for GLFS... no
configure: error: cannot find glusterfs api headers

existing header location:
$:~/glusterfs-coreutils$ sudo find /usr -name "glfs.h" -print
/usr/include/glusterfs/api/glfs.h

The headers should be installed with the glusterfs-common package. Are
you using a recent enough version of GlusterFS?

glusterfs-coreutils uses pkg-config to get the location from the headers
and the additional compile/link options. You will need a
glusterfs-api.pc file under /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ (or similar). This
command should list glusterfs-api when all is right:

  $ pkg-config --list-all

I do not know how Ubuntu packages are providing development files, so I
can not really give you more details than this.

As Kaushal pointed out, the headers are in the glusterfs-common .deb. The people
who did the Debian/Ubuntu packaging don't like -dev packages. I'm not
sure why. :-/

You appear to have glusterfs-common installed because you do have the header
files. What version of GlusterFS are you using?

You could look at configure(.ac) and try to suss out how configure is looking
for GLFS. It could be using pkgconfig, or looking for the header file, or
looking for a symbol in the shared library, or something else.

Otherwise I'll take a look when I get to the office in a bit.

Install uuid-dev, then it will work.
