It is "It's a freebsd threads thing." apparently. I installed the nightly snapshot of mt-daapd from http://www.pedde.com/mt-daapd/mt-daapd-cvs-20050123.tar.gz. It would not initially compile as it could not find gdbm.h. I ran configure with ./configure --with-gdbm-includes=/usr/local/include --with-gdbm-libs=/usr/local/lib and it then compiled. Using the example mt-daapd config file gave the following message when starting mt-daapd Invalid config directive: Error reading config file (/usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.conf) I edited mt-daapd.conf removing all empty lines and tried again to start mt-daapd. Now everything works fine. Alan
