Hi,

I recently upgraded gaim (always a mistake it seems :( ) and I can't get
it to start up anymore.

% gaim
Fatal error 'Spinlock called when not threaded.' at line 83 in file
/usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_spinlock.c (errno = 0)
Abort trap (core dumped)

I've read /usr/src/UPDATING, and I tried the suggestion about switching
the thread libraries.  When I tried that, gaim worked but Firefox stopped
functioning :(  When I tried to rebuild firefox, it gave me a **build
error** complaining about an assertion failure and threading.

When I try to only have the UPDATING change apply for gaim as follows:

[/usr/X11R6/bin/gaim]
libc_r.so.5             libpthread.so.1
libc_r.so               libpthread.so

It still gives the same error message as above.

So my main point of confusion is that I can't seem to make the thread
change apply only to gaim :(  Some library gaim uses perhaps?

Also, rebuilding gaim didn't help...even portupgrade -r -f gaim.

Chatless,

Mike
