Elitist jerk? You asked what the fix for your problem was, I responded -- my response was certainly terse, but complete. Then, you insulted me. Who's the jerk here? > As I stated before, I'm running slackware, so no libcaps-devel for > me. Dude, what do expect from me? That I'll translate the term "libcaps-devel" into slackwarelese for you? I am pretty sure that people who are capable of dealing with Slackware should be able to translate what I mean with libcaps-devel into the right package name for Slackware. Quite frankly I do believe that all people who compile PA from source should be able to translate to the package name specific to their distro. I am not your monkey who knows what the package name of every piece of free software is in every single esoteric distribution. Thank you very much. > I can of course go fetch it and build it myself, but if it's required > you might as well make configure barf if it isn't present and drop the > #ifdef from your code. It's not required. It's just not a good idea to compile PA without libcaps. It just isn't. If you want to do that than you need a very good reason for it, i.e. embedded stuff.
