Description frank 2025-03-04 01:32:51 UTC 
The latest golang module, v1.2.74, no longer builds. This is because `psx.c` contains an include to `libpsx.h` but refers to it via relative path of the parent dir, and it assumes the parent dir is named `psx`. With go modules that is not the case; the parent dir includes a version tag.

Here is `go build` output for go1.22.9 but it's identical for the latest golang.

Comment 1 Andrew G. Morgan 2025-03-04 02:53:30 UTC 
Thanks for reporting this! There is evidently a difference between the result of building after

go mod vendor

and trying to build from the package directly. I'll figure out how to work 
around this.
Comment 2 Andrew G. Morgan 2025-03-04 03:16:12 UTC 
Please try this version:

   kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/libcap/psx@v1.2.75-rc1

and report back.
Comment 4 frank 2025-03-04 08:34:10 UTC 
The updated version worked.
Comment 5 Andrew G. Morgan 2025-03-04 18:27:07 UTC 
I've just released libcap-2.75 which contains only this fix.
