I’m running OpenSUSE 12.3 and I want to enable ATOM support in NTP. I’ve installed the source RPM. When I try to compile it, it errors out on “libcap-devel” required. I’ve looked in the library and packages repositories and I’m just not seeing this package.
Can someone clue me in on how to get libcap-devel (which provides sys/capability.h) so I can re-compile NTP?

Hi
It’s there for 12.3 on the dvd or the oss repo?

No, it’s actually not. Here’s a list of files starting with “libcap*”
./suse/i586/libcap-ng-devel-0.6.6-11.1.1.i586.rpm
./suse/i586/libcap2-2.22-7.1.2.i586.rpm
./suse/i586/libcapi20-3-2011.8.29-12.1.1.i586.rpm
./suse/i586/libcap-ng0-0.6.6-11.1.1.i586.rpm
./suse/i586/libcap-progs-2.22-7.1.2.i586.rpm
I’ve installed libcap-ng-devel, but the file/library names are not the same, and it doesn’t compile.
Hi
I beg to differ 
I see libcap-devel here?
Index of /distribution/12.3/repo/oss/suse/i586
Now if you have a hard coded mirror in you repos that is not synced properly, then yes it’s possible.
Very strange. I’m certain I did a zypper install libcap-devel and it failed. I’ll have to check my repository configuration. Thanks for your help.
