[parted-devel] parted snapshot: 2.0.136-a782

[Curtis Gedak]

Hi Jim,

Thank you for your efforts to make parted one of the best partition 
editors around.

Unfortunately I have been unable to compile this new parted 2.1 
pre-release.  Details on the problem follow.


I am using a virtual machine containing an up-to-date copy of Ubuntu 9.10.

I downloaded the file:
http://meyering.net/parted/parted-2.0.136-a782.tar.xz

The configure options I used are:
./configure --without-readline --disable-device-mapper

The error message I receive when trying to 'make' the source code is:
