I just ran the test suite on fink's libxml2-2.6.27 package and did not get that thread-detection message. Steve, how exactly did you run the tests? I did 'make check' from the build directory after compiling and installing using normal autoconf tools on OS X 10.3 (powerpc), not as an XCode project. DanielV, where specifically should we look for different tokens that would account for the differing test behavior? Threading is indeed supported on OS X and ./configure reports (with no thread-related flags): Enabling multithreaded support checking pthread.h usability... yes checking pthread.h presence... yes checking for pthread.h... yes checking for pthread_join in -lpthread... yes IIRC, some of the normal linuxish flags one uses are not correct, so if the tests are doing funny flag things, but I didn't look into the test suite to see what flags control the threading there. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
