I believe the latest glibc installed with Gentoo is more in line with traditional distros, in that it installs a NPTL & non-NPTL version of glibc. Perhaps this version of glibc is still marked as experimental, though I have been using it for some time now. But it's compiled without the traditional non-NPTL libraries.
I haven't tried to install the newest version of MaxDB on my machine (yet) but compile failed miserably last time I tried (about 6 months ago) with an NPTL enabled version on glibc. I'm still confused about this, so please could someone clarify this - will MaxDB now compile with an NPTL-only glibc? BTW - Hermann, thanks again for the MaxDB ebuilds. Thanks.

Well, as far as i know, the codes are as follows: x86: 32-Bit x86 based arch IA32: Intanium 32-Bit IA64: Intanium 64-Bit x86_64: 64-Bit x86 extended arch Well, and as there are x86_64 builds out there, libunwind.mac should work at least on x86_64 and i guess they are built with NPTL support - although SAPDB may be still linked against a non-NPTL. Normal Distros (not Gentoo, which is broken in this aspect) install two glibc versions: one with NPTL, and one without. -- MaxDB Discussion Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MaxDB Discussion Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
