I am using a recently built and installed system: ---------------- # uname -a FreeBSD helga.granfalloon.com 4.1-RC FreeBSD 4.1-RC #11: Mon Jul 17 19:03:18 EDT 2000 root@helga.granfalloon.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/HELGA i386 ---------------- For example, the XMMS port used to work, but when I upgraded it, I get a core dump at runtime that when I open in gdb prints this: ---------------- # gdb xmms GNU gdb 4.18 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I had to do a search on the Makefile and replace -lc_r with -lpthread to get it to compile correctly (this IS right, isn't it, from what I read in the manual pages this is correct, but I could be wrong), but when I run it I get similar results with the core file it dumps. I am somewhat confused as to what everything does with regard to the threads, IE ports/devel/pth, ports/devel/pth-devel, ports/devel/linuxthreads, /usr/src/lib/libc_r. If someone could explain this (even if not answering my problem) I would be very grateful. I thought that the last one (libc_r) was a thread safe C library, if so, then why doesn't -lc_r work, but -lpthread does (compile time anyways) Sincerely, Caleb, confused about threads, Land (bokonon@rochester.rr.com) - If you CC a reply to my address please use this one, I'm on my hotmail account now, but it isn't my real address. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
