How can I fix "uuid/uuid.h - No such file" error in CentOS

Question

I am running CentOS 7 (64 bit). I am trying to build a project and I am getting this error.

fatal error: uuid/uuid.h: No such file or directory
 #include <uuid/uuid.h>
                       ^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [all] Error 1

Is this related to a missing package? I have already installed uuid-devel. What package should I install to fix this problem? Thanks!

I was missing the same while trying to compile Syslinux for aarch64. — Dan, Apr 11 '17 at 14:49

Installing the development package libuuid-devel as suggested here, fixed the issue.

sudo yum install libuuid libuuid-devel

SyncMaster

It is `libuuid-devel`, not `libuuid-devl` – fpmurphy Oct 09 '17 at 15:47
what about old centos 5? – confiq Nov 22 '17 at 16:52
The suggested solution works; dear OP, please mark it as "accepted", or justify why you haven't done so yet. – ralien Apr 27 '18 at 07:56
This works. Hit this bug when trying to build rpms for mod_gearman on Centos 7 – Ram Prasad Oct 04 '19 at 22:22

For those coming here with a similar problem in Ubuntu, `apt-get install uuid-dev` is what you want. – Doktor J Mar 03 '21 at 19:12
