Re: threads.xs compile error

Please join the party ... don't be “Anonymous,” Monk!

Can you try a slightly earlier version of Perl, as a workaround?

Clearly, configure (with the options you have selected) is not picking-up on the threading system that your system is using. Sometimes I find it helpful to actually browse a configure script with a text editor, and/or with grep, just to get some sense of what it is doing and maybe to help me “stumble upon” the right bit of arcana that is needed to push me past a particular roadblock.

A saner approach is to read one of the various README/INSTALL files, and try specifying some options, like thread related options, or debugging related options	[reply]

We are all rather conditioned, sometimes, to assume that `configure` will manage to figure things out for themselves, as they so often do. But, the underlying threading-support in Unix/Linux systems is not the least bit consistent. (I know of at least three ways that threading is done in commonly deployed versions of Linux ... very annoying.) When you do discover the Magick Word that is needed here, please do follow-up to this thread, so that no one else loses hair.
