I'm going to trot out the soap box here for a moment. Why do you need to compile Proftpd? There are rpms for it which work flawlessly in centos. When you start building from source on a distribution designed for package management, you get all sorts of interesting problems creeping up. You should consider a source build as a last resort option when all else has failed. Most software has been packaged already, and if what you need hasn't been packaged, it isn't that hard to build an rpm yourself. Subverting the package management system because it seems faster isn't going to hurt you right away. It's the slow pain you end up with down the road when suddenly you look around and wonder how the hell you got here. Those are also the days when the support folks shrug and wander off because they don't know what you did or what you're using either. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
