Hello.

I am packaging hal for slackware linux 10 and having a problem with 
configure; it fails with:

checking for /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids... no
checking for /usr/share/misc/pci.ids... no
checking for /usr/share/pci.ids... yes
checking sys/capability.h usability... no
checking sys/capability.h presence... no
checking for sys/capability.h... no
configure: error: Please install libcap and the libcap development package

I can find nothing in the hal docs about libcap, why it needs it or 
where to find it, and the page that seems to be libcap's home 
(http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/) contains no 
tree for 2.6 kernels. Please advise.

Thanks
