Locking prevents install on Slackware

[Wu, Jeffrey]

In attempting to install Samba on a Slackware implementation with a
400MB ext2fs partition, the configure script refused to proceed because
the locking support would create an unsafe implementation of Samba.  Has
anyone run across this before, and if so, is it an issue with the
limitations of Slackware or can I add packages to allow Samba to load?
(The objective is to provide domain authentication and print services,
not file sharing, so a disk filled to near the usable capacity would not
be an issue.)

Thanks in advance.
