Good news... bad news

The good news:

Thanks to Eric Smith, libbsd is now in the EPEL repo for RHEL 7.

The bad news:

Even with it installed on my build VM... I get this:

checking bsd/string.h usability... no
checking bsd/string.h presence... no
checking for bsd/string.h... no
checking for strlcat... no
checking for library containing strlcat... no
checking for library containing strlcpy... no
checking for strlcpy... no
checking for library containing strlcat... (cached) no
checking for library containing strlcpy... (cached) no
configure: error: no strlcpy/strlcat found

(bangs head on wall)


Plenty of string.h files on the server... maybe configure just isn't
finding them?
