If I have compiled parted 1.8.8 on one computer, can I simply copy the parted binary to another computer or is there more to it than that?

you can try but I bet you would also need the parted lib too unless parted is compile static. "ldd parted" will show any depends.

well it was compiled according to here

bummer..

Code:

xbmc@atv:~$ ldd parted
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7730000)
        libparted-1.8.so.8 => not found
        libreadline.so.5 => /lib/libreadline.so.5 (0xb76f0000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb76bf000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7570000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb756c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7731000)

Code:

xbmc@atv:~$ sudo ./parted
./parted: error while loading shared libraries: libparted-1.8.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

oh well now I know for next time
