Which package provides pthreads?

[Javasnob]

Hi all,

I've been having some problems with pthreads, so I want to reemerge the package providing them, but I don't know which that is. Does anyone happen to know?

Thanks!

Perhaps something like "kaffe-pthreads" ?

Search for "posix threads" you should find it.

pthread is implemented as a library and this library may be intertwined with libc also. Can you please post the specific problem with pthreads you had, we can try to fix that if possible without disturbing the current library.

Best,
TinkeR.

Thanks for the replies; I'll post a backtrace as soon as the problem I'm having occurs again.

Here's a backtrace:

This occurs in XMMS when I have the OSD plugin enabled. A similar problem occurs with Gaim and its OSD plugin. Thanks for any help you can offer!
