samba - Nov 1999 - samba-2.0.6 configure on solaris 2.6

Hi there all,

I am trying to compile samba-2.0.6 in Solaris 2.6 on a SPARC processor.

Running configure gives the following error:
     checking for fcntl locking... no
     checking for broken (glibc2.1/x86) 64 bit fcntl locking... no
     checking for 64 bit fcntl locking... no
             .
             .
             .
     checking configure summary
     ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe
     configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config

I found three samba list messages from late august.
One with the problem on in HPUX.
The other two related to automounted directories on Solaris which autoconf
was unable to use.
I ran configure in /tmp and another filesystem not automounted but received
 the same error.

I've successfully compiled, installed, and configured samba-1.9 but that
did not use autoconf.
We're presently running samba-2.0 but that was installed from precompiled
packages.
I'm attempting to upgrade to the latest version.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Gary Ross

	You have an error in the configure script: it
	fails by telling you the locking's broken.

	You'll need to run it with sh -x 2>&1 | more
	and see what's failed: in my case I had a verbose option
	turned on on the Sun comipiler, so configure thought
	I was writing error to stderr...
