Hi, I am installing nepenthes on Ubuntu 8.04, however,when I run it ,it comes this problem:
[ crit mgr ] Compiled without support for capabilities, no way to run capabilities

I know you have the same problem with me when you did it several years ago and I want to know do you still remember how did you solve this problem?

Thank you for your help in advance.

In reply #1 it says you should install libcap and configure it with capabilities. Did you?

Yes.Someone told me I should install libcap,but when I install it, I have problems too:
