Ocfs2 users - Jan 2009 - problem compiling ocfs2-tools v 1.4.1 on RedHat el5

Hi,

I have problem in compiling ocfs-tools v. 1.4.1 on RedHat el5. I haven't
found any install instruction on how to compile it, but I guess one should run
configure first. During configure I got this error:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for com_err... checking for com_err in -lcom_err... no
configure: error: Unable to find com_err library

I'm running this version of pkgconf:
# rpm -qa|grep pkgconf
pkgconfig-0.21-2.el5

Does anybody know how to resolv it and where to find an compile/install
instruction for ocfs2-tools and ocfs2?

the kernel module...

and the userspace tools...

And that's it. Good luck!

	Sunil's comments about -odatavolume still hold, but let's answer
your original question.
	The problem is not pkgconfig.  As you can see,
/usr/bin/pkg-config is detected.  The problem is libcom_err, which is
part of e2fsprogs.  Because you are building the tools, you need the
e2fsprogs-devel package, which will provide /usr/lib/libcom_err.so and
/usr/lib/libcom_err.a.  So, install e2fsprogs-devel and this part of
./configure will succeed.
