Samba 2.0.7 & HP-UX Installation problem

[eric.lou]

hello Peter,

i ran "configure" as root, and i worked on a non-NFS partition (vxfs).   
However that didn't succeed... 
Nevertheless, i would say that i've  worked without NFS installation since the 
beginning, and it may be precisely the problem, because deamons "lockd" & 
"statd" (processes NFS) are still running. Thus it seems to be logical if 
locking (which tries to use "lockd" without NFS) isn't available.   
But in fact, i don't really know where the bug is. 
I have resolved my problem, with a binary HP-UX/samba2-0-7 installation. 
Thank you anyway ;-)
