[Sbcl-help] [Fwd: Re: threads on kernel 2.4 ?]

[fred v. <fr...@fr...>]

Hi SBCL users on linux,

Yes, getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION gives NPTL 0.29 on my redhat9 kernel
2.4.20 , is this nptl version OK ?
but  compiling sbcl is not succesfull when I include (enable :sb-thread)
in customize-target-features.lisp;
the dump is the one  I posted to list on 20.04.2006  (error in cold init
around the cold-sbcl.core)...

I did not find any flag in the man to active nptl when compiling.
should i change a path to a libpthread.so or some other lib ??

If somebody can help me I would appreciate really it !

thank's in advance

I would have expected this to work, actually, as RedHat is one of the
systems which backported NPTL to its 2.4 kernels.  What errors are you
getting?
