Wise ones, has Mandrake switched from threaded to nonthreaded perl in their distro ? Would this cause problems if I try to run their modules with a threaded perl ?
I run my own perl 5.8.6 multithreaded built from source, on a Mandrake 10 box. In the past when I need one of Mandrake's perl admin .so modules I just downloaded the precompiled module rpm and installed it into /usr/lib/libdrakx. No problems.
Latest versions of all these modules give

Can't load '/usr/lib/libDrakX/auto/Newt/Newt.so' for module Newt: /usr/lib/libDrakX/auto/Newt/Newt.so: undefined symbol: PL_stack_max at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

If I recompile the mandrake modules they work OK. I noticed that the perl in mandrake's packages now has i386-linux (not -thread-multi). Does this mean they now support only nonthreaded perl ? Or is my problem somewhere else ?
thanks
