Hi. I did the "port" of Boehm's gc to Fink, but I'm afraid I haven't done very much with it: I was mainly interested in getting it working well enough for use by another package called Macaulay2. (And in fact, although Macaulay2 worked OK under OS X 10.1 it is not working properly under OS X 10.2 and we suspect that the problem lies in the gc package.) Threads on OS X are a tricky business, and you might be better off asking about that on another list, such as the unix-porting or darwin-devel lists at apple. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
