Hi,
I am running Slackware current with a 5.18.7 kernel. The motherboard it was running on has been switched, and because I was presented with a grub-rescue prompt (only after the motherboard switch, worked perfect prior to this) I chose to reinstall. Now what is happening is the grub-rescue prompt it displayed on the screen for a second or 2 and then the normal grub menu shows up and boots properly. I can't figure out how to fix this for the main drive was formatted and partitioned during install. It has 2 partitions on it a 4GB swap and the remainder of the 2TB drive for /. The second drive is also a 2TB drive both same make and model and has 1 partition on it /home which was not formatted during install, so all the files and so forth remain intact after the user is re-added. I should mention I am using grub version 2.06. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

According to my reading of the documentation that should work, so I am afraid I have no more ideas.

You may or may not have access to a GRUB environment block (of which you make no mention).
Quote: For safety reasons, this storage is only available when installed on a plain disk (no LVM or RAID), using a non-checksumming filesystem (no ZFS), and using BIOS or EFI functions (no ATA, USB or IEEE1275).
grub-mkconfig uses this facility to implement ‘GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT’ (see Simple configuration).

Quote: The environment block is a preallocated 1024-byte file, which normally lives in /boot/grub/grubenv (although you should not assume this). At boot time, the load_env command (see load_env) loads environment variables from it, and the save_env (see save_env) command saves environment variables to it. From a running system, the grub-editenv utility can be used to edit the environment block.

I just tried this and it works correctly. Whatever is happening on your system is unique to you, and may have something to do with previous questions which suggest that your installation is not very stable.

Isn't this something you can see from the source code?
That's the the great advantage of open source projects: If the system doesn't behave the way you want it to, you have the full freedom to go into the source code and modify it the way you want.

Because it is Free and Open Source Software.
It is given to you so that you can fix it yourself. That is what the free-ness and open-ness is about. You may of course ask your friends to fix it for you, or even pay someone to fix it (although that sort of kills the "free" idea, at least in the sense of "free beer").
When you accept a "free" offer that is financed by ads and commercials, then you are the product being sold.
When you accept "free" and open sources software, then you are the maintainer of that software.
This is 101 FOSS.

Maybe, but that is not a rule that you can rely on.

Short answer is you don't need to know. When linking your program with -lbluetooth should be enough, if it's installed in the usual place. Depending on what your development environment is, you can use pkg-config to tell you what flags you need to use to find headers and libs e.g
k5054@localhost:~$ pkg-config --cflags bluez
k5054@localhost:~$ pkg-config --libs bluez
-lbluetooth
k5054@localhost:~$ This tells us that we don't need any additional flags for compilation, and only need to add -lbluetooth when linking.
If you really want to know where the lib is, you can use dpkg to tell you where it is
k5054@localhost:~$ dpkg -S libbluetooth | grep .so
libbluetooth3:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbluetooth.so.3
libbluetooth3:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbluetooth.so.3.19.3
libbluetooth-dev:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbluetooth.so
k5054@localhost:~$ Note that debian/ubuntu uses the target architecture as part of the filename for libraries, so for a PI with a 32 bit Raspberry Pi OS, the path is /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libbluetooth.so.3, and it would be different again for a PI with a 64-bit OS, or an i386, MIPS, etc.
Keep Calm and Carry On

libbluetooth-dev
So the option to use in your build should be -lbluetooth-dev. But you also need to check that it is installed in one of the automatically searched locations. The names of these will be in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If the library is not in one of those places then you can:
1. Add its name to the envoronment variable, or
2. Use the -L option on the build.

Since you have not told us which one does not work, I assume you meant the one at bluez.org. So maybe try Bluetooth Management | Ubuntu[^].
