Which means a working threads-capable version of Apache on FreeBSD is still 9+ months away :-( It doesn't help when the re team suggest via the Announcement e-mails that the current production-ready release is still 4.8... If you want libc_r deprecated sooner, get /etc/libmap.conf installed, defaulting libc_r to libkse. Most people (including me), just use the defaults. I've just found libmap.conf by chance, while trying to resolve a build issue on a program that uses pthread_spinlock_* and POSIX semaphore calls. You'd have more testers that way too. > -- > Dan Eischen > Regards, Chris Knight Systems Administrator E-Easy Tel: +61 3 6334 9995 Fax: +61 3 6331 7032 Mob: +61 419 528 795 Web: http://www.e-easy.com.au
