When libcap.i386 was installed (f* knows why) the error was:

/lib/libcap.so.1: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

This time I cured that via

yum remove libcap-1.10-26.i386

then I got the same error then on the machines with only the X86_64 libcap installed:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcap

A somewhat hackish fix was to just link the 64bit library in where vsftpd is expecting it:

ln -s /lib64/libcap.so.1 /lib/libcap.so.1

I tried using the latest version of vsftpd, but there seems to be a bug in it that makes browsing directories very slow when using ssl. Thanks to you I have successfully compiled vsftpd 2.0.5, and it seems to be working as it should. Thanks, this helped me.
