Hi, I'm actually loosing track what's going on with threading libraries in FreeBSD -current. As far as I've read the -current mailinglist 'libkse' is now 'libpthread' and replaces 'libc_r'. The reason is far better threading support with KSEs. But in the moment I can use either KDE or GNOME only with a general /etc/libmap.conf which maps 'libpthread' to 'libc_r', so there's no way to use the new 'libpthread' even with other apps which could potentially use it. I don't think that's intended. Am I overlooking something here? Is 'libkse/libpthread' still not ready for KDE/GNOME and that's subject to improve in the future? Is there a (usable) way to use 'libc_r' for KDE *only* other than mapping each single KDE app seperately? Perhaps someone is willing to explain and conclude the "do"s and "don't"s around the different threading libraries (not only) to me. -- Ciao/BSD - Matthias Matthias Schuendehuette <msch [at] snafu.de>, Berlin (Germany) PGP-Key at <pgp.mit.edu> and <wwwkeys.de.pgp.net> ID: 0xDDFB0A5F
