I have seen at least one setup where blkid library auto-detection didn't
work correctly. Dunno if this affects slackware.

My workaround was to manually override ./configure auto-detection by running
the script like this:

CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" BLKID_LIBS='-lblkid -luuid' BLKID_CFLAGS='-I/usr/include/blkid' ./configure

The problem was buggy/incorrect data in blkid library configuration file
that usually is in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/blkid.pc

Type "man pkg-config" for more info about *.pc files.
