Re: Gnome 2.16.0 compilation issue: gnome-vfs-2.16.0 - modules

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Shawn,

Which disto/platform are you running?

/lib/libattr.so contains the extended attribute system calls and library
functions. On Redhat-based systems this lib is installed under /lib as
it it required during the boot sequence. Where is libattr installed on
your system?

An quick examination of the configure file for gnome-vfs indicates that
tests are run to detect getxttr() in libattr.  Did those tests pass?
