Hallo,

I tried to set up loop-AES-v3.2a and when executing

    bzip2 -d -c util-linux-2.12r.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
    cd util-linux-2.12r
    patch -p1 </PATH/TO/LOOP-AES/util-linux-2.12r.diff
    CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure

util-linux output was: You need -lcrypt. I continued with installing, 
but "make tests" failed, because there was no /dev/loop7!

So, how to get -lcrypt and what is it? Will it solve problem with loop7?

..
