Is there a reason that this library is not available?
Would it be possible to build this library for the raspberry pi?
Is there any hardware limitations that would prevent the use of this library once built?

Thanks

P.S. Has anyone already built this library and would they be willing to share it?

You should always undertake

sudo apt-get update

....prior to installing

So I didn't paste my entire .bash_history for brevity, but I can assure you I did sudo apt-get update before attempting the install.

This is because libudev1 is not available in Wheezy, just libudev0. libudev1 is available in Jessie.

I looked at the page you pointed to but was unable to find any mention of libudev1, are you sure you gave the correct url?

Thanks

Does this mean I can't compile the program that requires libudev1? Or will libudev0 work instead?

Thanks
