FW: Redhat 7.0 and threads

[Glen Coakley <gcoakley@mqsoftware.com>]

This is what I got when configuring under RedHat 7.0 (Kernel 2.2.16-22 on an
i686). They start to differ where configure appears to be trying to figure
out how to link with the thread library. (I'm guessing here) If you know how
to include that library then add it to the env. var. LDFLAGS before invoking
configure. 

Otherwise, I would run "sh -x configure" or read through the script (search
for 'thread') to figure out what it is doing.

Have you ever wonder what happens when you run "rm -rf / " but been afraid
to try it?

The myraid of threads check confuses the crap out of me. I am not 100% sure
what
is the problem, but under Redhat 7.0 O get the following:

configure: error: could not link with POSIX Threads

What type of threads are used in Redhat 7.0?

I tried the other src.rpm from the open-it.org(?) site, it doesn't compile
either.
