RH6 has two separate libraries (v1 and v2). RH7 settled on v2 but then just to make it interesting included libcap-ng (next generation), sigh. > Actually, I'm not sure I really can figure out the difference between v1 and v2 -- it still seems to refer to the same thing. Can you show me the two packages on RHEL6? I only see one. libcap-ng is completely unrelated, I think. It has an API that's less prickly - but I'd rather use the more basic API as it seems libcap (maintained at kernel.org) is more widely found.
