I'm attempting to update a Slackware 7.0-based machine which is very
happily running Samba-2.2.0 to Samba-2.2.3a in order to get it to play
nicely with a Windows 2000 box. However, I'm running into a problem at
configure time, because 2.2.3a steadfastly insists that there is no file
locking available on my machine.
I configure it as follows:
.../samba-2.2.3a/source:8 # ./configure --prefix=/opt/samba
--with-readline --with-smbmount
And I get this:
...
...
checking for working mmap... yes
checking for ftruncate needs root... no
checking for fcntl locking... no
checking for broken (glibc2.1/x86) 64 bit fcntl locking... no
checking for 64 bit fcntl locking... no
checking for st_blocks in struct stat... yes
checking for broken RedHat 7.2 system header files... no
...
...
checking configure summary
ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe
configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config
Since Samba-2.2.0 finds file locks quite happily, can anyone tell me why
Samba-2.2.3a is failing? Could this be occurring because I'm building on
an NFS-mounted filesystem?
