According to Debian Testing they are using a snapshot of GnuBG source from November 2006. The multithreaded support was released around the end of January 2007.
The one thing I can recommend is pulling the latest source code out of CVS (Or downloading a recent snapshot of the source) and building the Multithreaded version on Debian. I don't know if it will compile without errors on Debian but you can try. Snapshot can be found here: http://www.gnubg.org/media/sources/ If you want to us CVS information can be found here: http://www.gnubg.org/index.php?itemid=26 Mike On 12/8/07 10:59 AM, "Dave Bellows" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all.
