oprofile binary build error - (liberty library not found)

Question

After download the oprofile source code on my host ( Ubuntu 15.04 ), for some reasons, I need to build the binary my own.

I enter the following command to build the binary

./configure && make && make install

And got the error message

configure: error: liberty library not found

By searching around the fix to this error, I found a package needs to be installed.

sudo apt-get install binutils-dev

However, the same error still appears even thought the package has been installed successfully.

Is there anything I can check with?

Thanks
