1 year ago What? This is silly. The configure script fails if any of these packages are missing, with errors that are clear. And the ubuntu-specific package are required for all distros. Not sure what exactly you're trying to do here

Without the numa-dev headers it shuts numa off and the only way we know during configure time is it says "numa

I'm happy to defer to you, but figured I should write down why since I'm getting a little push back which I hadn't really expected.

1 year ago well, lets go through it:
configure.ac:3: warning: 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER': this macro is obsolete. configure.ac:3: You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro instead. ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2434: AC_DIAGNOSE is expanded from... aclocal.m4:745: AM_CONFIG_HEADER is expanded from... configure.ac:3: the top level configure.ac:21: warning: The preprocessor macro `STDC_HEADERS' is obsolete. configure.ac:21: Except in unusual embedded environments, you can safely include all configure.ac:21: ISO C90 headers unconditionally.
These all suggest that you are using a newer version of autotools than was available when this configure script was created. I should probably fix that, but it wasn't the problem reported here
error: possibly undefined macro: AS_IF This is the (admittedly) odd error that autoconf generates if you don't have pkg-config installed, googling that error specifically will tell you thats the problem
configure.ac:34: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_LIB configure.ac:37: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR configure.ac:66: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE Ditto for libtool here
I grant you, autotools isn't the best at announcing the need for specific tools, but thats well understood, and easily googlable.
As for the lack of numa support, take a look at the configure output: ... checking for numa... no checking for numa_available in -lnuma... no ...
The configure output pretty clearly says it can't find numa support here, which was your initial complaint . You need to read the output of configure, not just look at the all caps error messages
Add ubuntu packages to install so it can be built. Especially the numa headers package which gets (mostly silently) ignored and you end up with numa incompatible irqbalance which took me way too long to figure out.
