this may have something to do with 64 bit system, but i have make modification to vsf_findlibs.sh
48 # Look for libcap (capabilities)
49 if locate_library /lib64/libcap.so.1; then
50 echo "/lib/libcap.so.1";
51 elif locate_library /lib64/libcap.so.2; then

55 # locate_library /lib/libcap.so && echo "-lcap";
56 locate_library /lib64/libcap.so.1 && echo "-lcap";
57 fi
but make failed with the same error, why?
