You may want to install development packages of the libraries so that needed
C compiler header files will be present on the computer. Package naming may
vary from distro to another, but you can start by looking for packages with
"lib" prefix and/or "-dev" suffix. Something like this:

 libblkid-dev uuid-dev
    ^^^^^     ^^^^
