I'm trying to compile acl-2.0.9 but running into problems.

When doing a ./configure it says...

...
checking for attr/xattr.h... yes
checking for getxattr in -lattr... no

FATAL ERROR: could not find a valid Extended Attributes library...

I have installed attr-2.0.7 (both make install and make install-lib).

If I do a 'nm /lib/libattr.so.1 | grep getxattr' I get:

Addr T fgetxattr
Addr T getxattr
Addr T lgetxattr

Which seems to indicate the library does support it but gcc won't link
to it.  (Maybe a RH-7.3 gcc-2.96 issue?).

Any ideas why it won't compile or what I can do so that it will work?
