libpthread is a symlink to libthr on a correctly functioning FreeBSD 7.0 
installation.

In general, when you encounter a problem you need to cut and paste the 
exact errors, instead of typing from memory and getting it wrong (there 
is no "/lib/pthread.so.2", etc).  Showing us the errors mean that we are 
more likely to understand your problem and help you to fix it.
