configure fails to find pthread - linux

["Dave Whitla" <dave.whitla@ocean.net.au>]

Before you say this has been covered:

kernel:         2.2.19 SMP
glibc:           2.2.4
Pth:             1.4.1
openldap:    2.0.21

Same error as with glibc prior to 2.2.2 (as I've read - I went straight from
2.2 to 2.2.4)

Have I missed some env spec or something ?
Someone save me from certain death ... the bleeding from my bruised forehead
is becoming quite profuse...
