"the reason is because it lists what the packages
require. this one
requires libpthread.so.0. so i would look for this
file. if you dont
see
it, you'll have to find a tar.gz (thats what slack
uses right?) for it.
if
you do see it add an option in ./configure to point to
it."


Hi John,
the files are there:
bash$ ls -la /lib/libp*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        49492 Oct 24  1998
/lib/libpthread-0.7.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           17 Oct 27  1998
/lib/libpthread.so.0 -> libpthread-0.7.so

I even downloaded and installed a package called
pthreads.tar.gz, but it's
not working either. How can I add an option in
./configure ?

The only two options I see on ./configure --help are
  --enable-threads        turn on basic thread support
[default=yes]
                          ([=no] will override
--with-threads)
  --with-threads=[none/posix/solaris/nspr] specify a
thread implementation
to use

The error message, when trying to ./configure 
glib-1.2.8 was:

checking for pthread.h... yes
checking for thread implementation... posix
checking for pthread_attr_init in -lpthread... no
checking for pthread_attr_init in -lpthreads... no
checking for pthread_attr_init in -lthread... no

checking for __d10_pthread_attr_init in -lthread... no
checking for __pthread_attr_init_system in

configure: error: I can't find the libraries for the
thread implementation

                posix. Please choose another thread
implementation or
                provide information on your thread
implementation.
                You can also run 'configure
--disable-threads'
                to compile without thread support.
