Try to use -pthread compiler option (or analog, depends on compiler) instead of linking around libpthread directly. Sometime the true name of thread library may be different. Sometime systems have more than one thread library. 2. IIRC, on Mac OS X you don't need any special library or flag at all. All pthread functionality is a part of libSystem (mac analog of libc) and libpthread is just a symlink to it. -- Andrew W.
