Install uuid library.
Depending on your system/distribution, the method might be different,
but generally you do it using yum/pacman/apt-get - something like this.

Most likely you installed just part of the library. Not sure what
OS/distribution you're using, but on debian, for example - there is
distinction between library package needed for running programs, and
headers for library needed for program compilation.
headers are usually in package named "package-dev" or "package-devel".
