configure:635: checking cpuid.h usability
configure:635: gcc -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:84:19: error: cpuid.h: No such file or directory
You lack cpuid.h. It looks like your installation is broken.
Are you compiling locally? If yes, then what does `find /usr -name
cpuid.h` show?
The following program should compile just fine:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cpuid.h>
int main (void) { return 0; }
gcc -o test test.c
If this fails, then your toolchain is broken.
Cheers,
Carlos.
