Re: NES problem

Tirza, The NES module definitely needs threads since NES is threaded (at least that is how I understand it.) My configure options were: --prefix=/netscape/web/php4 --with-nsapi=/netscape/NES4 \ --with-mysql=/b/mysql/server --enable-track-vars --disable-short-tags \ --enable-libgcc I checked my config.log and there are several instances of it looking for a pthread library. This is fine assuming it finds one eventually. I'm on a Solaris 2.6 box and it looks like after about 4 tries it found the right combination of flags to get pthreads working. Also, I am using NES 4.1. I was having troubles getting it to go with NES 3.63. Though this may not be an option for you financially. In general, configure just tries various known implementations of things it is looking for until it finds one that works and then uses that information when it builds the Makefiles. So check your config.log and see if you find the successful attempt and compiling the conftest.c with threads. Since it is at least building successsfully I'm guessing it is figuring out threads on OSF. It's really unfortunate that the developers pretty much ignore issues on NES as well as less popular platforms. Using NES and Digital Unix both you are getting a double whammy.
