Hi Andreas, is attr/libattr.h on CentOS 5.8 too old to define ATTR_ACTION_PERMISSIONS?
Evidently. It's the current release of CentOS (5). There is not much in /usr/include/attr/libattr.h (appended). I tried again with configure --disable-xattr and that went through fine. So I suppose the thing to do is have configure do that (disable-xattr) automatically if ATTR_ACTION_PERMISSIONS is not defined? Which package does your attr/libattr.h belong to (rpm -qf)? libattr-devel-2.4.32-1.1 (but version numbers don't mean much with RH-derived systems, in my experience...)
