I made the jump from 5.21 to 5.3 earlier and started getting the infamous "Fatal error 'Spinlock called when not threaded.' at line 83 in file /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_spinlock.c (errno = 2)" everytime I ran gnucash. According to the release notes and previous posts, the problem comes from the port being linked against two threading libraries (libkse, libc_r, libpthread, or whatnot). The solution is to recompile the port and everything it depends on, or to be safe, recompile all your ports. I've done an ldd -a on everything in /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 and I can't see to find anyhing other than libpthread and libqthreads (installed by guile). I've recompiled gnucash with portupgrade -R gnucash to no avail. I then tried reinstalling ALL my ports using 'portupgrade -fa'. This is after I upgraded to 5.3 by syncing the world, rebuilding and reinstalling the kernel, installing a new world, and resyncing the ports tree. I still seem to get that error with gnucash. Also, running 'strace -f gnucash' just hangs indefinitely with no output. I don't know if that's a clue. Since gnucash is a guile program, I'm not sure how to debug where the spinlock issue is coming from. I asked the freebsd-questions list but have gotten no response. So in desperation, I'm broadening my quest. I don't want to reinstall the server from scratch if there is another way to fix this error. Could there be something in my kernel configuration causing this? I can't find a reference to libc_r or libkse *anywhere*. :/ Does anyone have any ideas for me to try? Thank you for your time. --And
