Introducing LinuxThreads to Fedora 4
Hi All,
Merrily upgraded to Fedora Core 4, and now I find that a program I now need to install requires LinuxThreads. I understand now that it no longer features, but unfortuneatly a role back isn't convienient. I've be hunting for info and believe I need to install glibc modules, but I'm not really sure and I haven't worked out the correct procedure with an install, -ivh, or upgrade, -Uvh. If anybody can point me in the right direction to getting LinuxThreads up and running on Fedora Core 4 it would be greatly appreciated. Still new to all this, so take it slow. |
Have you been here?:

Yeah, I spotted that in the release notes, but it doesn't mean to much to me, at the moment! I'll see if can find the development package and go from there.
Thanks all for the replies. |
I've located the linux-threads development package and installed...
[root@dragon Dragon 6.3.3]# rpm -ivh linuxthreads-devel-2.3.5-10.i386.rpm warning: linuxthreads-devel-2.3.5-10.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package linuxthreads-devel-2.3.5-10 is already installed [root@dragon Dragon 6.3.3]# Still when I try and install the package I want, I get the same response... [root@dragon mysql-3.23.47]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu *****((some lines omitted))***** checking for int8... no checking LinuxThreads... Not found configure: error: This is a linux system and Linuxthreads was not found. On linux Linuxthreads should be used. So install Linuxthreads (or a new glibc) and try again. See the Installation chapter in the Reference Manual. [root@dragon mysql-3.23.47]# I've read the release notes, but they don't mean a lot to me at the moment, (You now need to also specify this variable in the environment:, etc). Be greatly appreciated if somebody could help me step through the process |
