samba - Feb 2000 - Locking error in the installation of Samba

Hi!
I m trying to install samba-2.0.6 on solaris 7.
When i run configure script, it gives me an error

checking configure summary
ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe
configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config

it also doesnot find "fcntl"

What do u ppl suggest. What kind of locking is on my system.


Thanks

Regards
Amer!

This really should be in a FAQ somewhere. I have this exact problem, and
posted it this morning a few hours before you did. Research I've done
has shown millions of people asking this question on many lists and
newsgroups; I haven't found an answer, though.

BTW, it happens to me on AIX v4.2, trying to ./configure v2.0.5a and
2.0.6 of Samba.

If you're getting the 
|  ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe
|  configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config
messages, there is a problem in the configure script somewhere:
set -x and look for  bugs.
  The "no locking" shows up, more or less because it's the last
message (;-))  I made it appear with an erronious compiler option
on Solaris, which made **all** the tests fail.

Alas, if you get then locking mesage. configure has failed
utterly.

As it's actually a shell script, run it like this:
	sh -x configure 2>&1 | tee oops
and then email me oops.log and everything else whose
name starts with "conf", and I'll see if I can spot the problem.
