[06-26-03 20:34]: Does or doesnt' 8.2 support pthreads? I keep getting confilct opinions about this so I was hoping someone might be able to give me some info on this.
ls -l /usr/lib/libpthread*
The reason I was asking was that I posted a comment on the TransGaiming=20 website complaining the the latest offering does not handle pthreads. He h= ad=20 stated that SuSE didn't not have pthreading but RH 9.0 did. I thought he w= as=20 full of it but thought it would be better to gather some consensus on this= =20 issue.
Cheers, Curtis.
P.S. Please correct me if I'm wrong but are not all futrue kernels (2.5/2.= 6)=20 going to have pthreading?
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but PThreading is not a kernel function. PThreads are implemented in a library that can be downloaded and built just like any other library. And at its core, PThreads on Linux still use some form of Fork() anyways.
My bad. I was unsure as to what extent the libs and kernel interoped. This is what I was hoping to get clarification on. As it seems that TransGaming, or a fair amount of people that contrib to the users state the SuSE is different then others and it seem that 8.2 has specific issue, most around pthreading. I have a sneaking suspicion that they are RH focused and this maybe part (if not parcel) to some of the problems I'm having and their take that this is a SuSE issue.
