On CentOS 5.3 x86_64, I'm trying to build xfsprogs-2.9.4-1.el5.centos.x86_64 with -ggdb so I can use it with gdb and examine the data structures when using xfs_db. I've installed the src rpm as a non-root user and when I run rpmbuild -bc during the ./configure I get the error:

checking for uuid.h... no

FATAL ERROR: could not find a valid UUID library. Install the Universally Unique Identifiers library package. error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.42904 (%build)

You might want to try installing e2fsprogs-devel and see how it goes.
