"***ERROR: pthreads is required!" on SuSE 8.2

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hello.

I have problems to compile siproxd (0.5.x) on my SuSE 8.2 machine.

"checking for the pthreads library -lpthreads... no
checking whether pthreads work without any flags... no
checking whether pthreads work with -Kthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -kthread... no
checking for the pthreads library -llthread... no

checking whether pthreads work with --thread-safe... no
checking whether pthreads work with -mt... no
*** ERROR: pthreads is required!"

Any one a Idea?

[Thomas Ries]

Do you have the pthreads library installed?

Do as root:
# ldconfig -p |grep pthread

You should see something like
# /sbin/ldconfig -p |grep pthread
        libpthread.so.0 (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.2.5) => /lib/libpthread.so.0
        libgnomevfs-pthread.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-pthread.so

If not, install pthreads. Refer to the SUSE documentation how to acomplish this.

Regards,

# ldconfig -p |grep pthread
  libpthread.so.0 (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.2.5) => /lib/libpthread.so.0

I cant see "ibgnomevfs-pthread.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-pthread.so"

I'll be look to update my SuSE.

(there is the complete output of ./configure)

It does NOT work.

Can you send the resulting config.log file directly via email to my SF account (is too big for the forum)? I'll have a look at it.

Also please include the following information:
$ locate libpthread
$ locate pthread.h
$ uname -a
what version of glibc are you using?
$ gcc --version

The following part of the config.log makes me believe that you have somehow managed to corrupt your C header files:

make sure that /usr/include/bits/sched.h has not been modified/corrupted and/or reinstall it.

Hint: It might be a wise idea to work under the root user *only* when it is required (like INSTALLING software). BUILDING software almost *never* required root privileges.

Many Thanks.

Affter i add an " on line 24 in sched.h it been works without problems.

Now i have compiled the Siproxd.

Thank You, Thomas
