Re: NES problem

One more question --could you check what your configuration options for gcc were? Thanks so much, Tirza --On Thursday, October 26, 2000 10:57 AM -0400 Cary Collett <cary@ratatosk.org> wrote:

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.

I tried what you said about lpthread, but it cannot be found!! Maybe I compiled gcc incorrectly. I don't have pthread library! Do you know if the nsapi module needs thread support? -(maybe that is why it is why the server keeps crashing when I restart it. ) What did your configure file for PHP look like? Was pthread a parameter for gcc? I'll let you know if I get it working. I'm closer than I've been in a long time... Thanks so much, Tirza
