Thanks for your quick response. I found that neither
PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT or pthread_once_init were defined. I tried
the configure on another system with an "older" pthreads version
and the configure worked. I later found that in fact they were 2
different pthread packages'
The package that IS compatable is:
Linuxthreads by Xavier Leroy
The package that IS NOT compatable is:
PCThreads by Michael T. Peterson.
A quick comparison looks like it might be that it is just the
configure that is incompatable. What is your thought on this?

Thanks again,
