You can't (according to the ports) compile LinuxThreads on non-i386 platforms. I am still trying to find out why python 2.3.4 will not compile and run its test suite on FreeBSD 5/AMD64. It runs for on i386, but not on AMD64, it just core dumps when doing anything stack-heavy when compiled with threading. The fact it works with i386 and not AMD64 leads me to believe it is a problem with FreeBSD, not python (works fine on -stable on i386 too). The normal tricks on increasing the stack size for pthreads doesn't seem to help at all. I've tried linking against -libpthread, -libkse and -libthr and all get the same results. I've not tried it with -RC1 yet, the latest was -B7. I'm not sure if this is related to your issues or not, but I just wanted to point out that I think there is a deeper issue with threads on FreeBSD and so it may affect stuff other than python. -Matt -- Matt Hamilton matth@netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.
