Where is libwrap.a in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Need libwrap.a to compile programs so that they are tcp_wrappers-aware. 
  • In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 this file is /usr/{lib,lib64}/libwrap.a and is provided by the tcp_wrappers package. 
  • Cannot find it for RHEL-6 (it is not in the tcp_wrappers, tcp_wrappers-libs, or tcp_wrappers-devel packages) and running yum provides '*/libwrap.a' does not tell what package contains it.  Where to get it?
