[Samba] Samba-2.2.3a configuration problem

[Phil Stracchino]

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?
