Yes, it enables thread support by default now to reduce the problem/complicate for other ports that depend on ruby, but turned out another problem for different ${ARCH} too. So far from what I can see is to disable thread support in ruby for only different ${ARCH} that don't work. It means, few ports will be disable like maybe ruby-opengl and few others. I personal never have test disable thread support in all version of FreeBSD with louix or my change to see if others ports that required thread support in ruby will work. I don't mind to test it, but I can't test on FreeBSD 4.x and 6.x thought. Cheers, Mezz -- mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org
