Known bug - the configure script does not link against the pthread library,
which is necessary for certain Mesa versions.

Didn't I intend to change that prior to the 1.6.0 release ? Hmm ... seems
like I did not.

Anyhow - for now, search for the following line in configure.in:

AC_CHECK_LIB(GL, glNewList)

.. and add this line prior to it:

AC_CHECK_LIB(pthread, pthread_create)


Then, while in the root of the plib source tree, run

/autogen.sh

and

/configure

(which should work flawlessly now).
