dpkg make failed

Asked by curiogeo

I have tried to install dpkg from a tarball and was able to:
./configure
successfully.

When I run the make command I get the following errors:
echo "#define DPKG_VERSION \"1.10.27\" /* This line modified by Makefile */" > version.h

Should I submit this as a bug or is my OS the root cause of this problem?

Hello,
Thank you for your question. It looks like according to your error, that it can not find bzlib.h . Do you have zlib1g-dev package installed? I believe that is required to to compile against bzlib

Correct, install "libbz2-dev" . My apologizes

Hello !

If you want to get dpkg, maybe the easiest way is to get it via Synaptic ...

As for your compilation problem, my guess is that you don't have bz2lib installed (or at least not at the expected place)

Regards,
Benoît

...Meant to say correction. I'm on a roll :)

Might I ask btw, why are you needing to re-install dpkg?
It should already be installed with Ubuntu. One easy solution, if you have aptitude: "sudo aptitude reinstall dpkg"

If you need to compile it, just install "libbz2-dev" package for bzlib.h

I am reinstalling because my original dpkg is corrupt and i cannot use aptitude, apt-get or synaptic to download packages.

I am getting a segmentation fault when I try to run dpkg so i was hoping to remove it and reinstall it.

How do I remove a program in ubuntu?

So here are the results of the attempt to install dpkg after a makeinstall of libbz2-dev:

Doesn't seem drastic but I still cannot deciper it.

Hello !

Did you do a make clean before trying to compile again ?
