I get consistent lockups in python when trying to build petsc, the lockup happens during configure and while python is running the equivalent of pthread_cond_wait. It looks, but I haven't verified, like a similar situation to ruby, where the semantics of Linuxthreads vs. NPTL are different enough that the newer python2.5 code is unreliable under Linuxthreads. I don't know how m68k keeps up without NPTL. I'm going to stop debugging petsc, ruby, and python for now, and I'm going to instead focus on producing a libc6 deb (with NPTL) which I can put into my sbuild chroot. After I have a libc6 deb with nptl, then I'll bubble back up to see if I can build ruby and python and look at their testsuite failures. After that I'll bubble back up to petsc. If you have any better suggestions, please share them. Cheers, Carlos. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
