RE: [Tclhttpd-users] 3.2.1 crashes on first access with threads enabled.

[David L. <wh...@oz...>]

Hey Brent;

Turns out I had thread 2.0 in the path. I see that Thread 2.2 is in the
distro - i'll build that and see if it works any better (hopefully).

If tclhttpd 3.2.1 requres Thread 2.2 shouldn't it insist on that version?

Regards,

Dave LeBlanc

Yes - you need the thread extension.  I'm suprised it doesn't complain
during startup that the "package require Thread" doesn't work.
Configure and build the thread extension with the same
prefix, exec-prefix as your threaded Tcl build, and those Tcl
shells should find the thread package after you "make install" it.
