Many thanks! It would be helpful if you could provide: - your FreeBSD version - the output of "ldd libyourlib.so" - the output of "ldd yourprogram" I wouldn't be supprised to find that the program and library are linked against different threading libraries. If so, one of them will need to be relinked or you will need to use libmap.conf to cause it to use the other one. -- Brooks [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFIyXgFXY6L6fI4GtQRAncEAKCGe+TUZcGZyOlG6EdT9z4oHw5rjwCfe50C 1F5AEnE1U3TeAc005pgi4Tc= =lsGy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
