I've found a reference to the post this originated from: http://www.mail-archive.com/autofs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg06499.html I'm guessing the claim actually is that -D_REENTRANT should deal with this although LDFLAGS contains -lpthread so perhaps this was actually a problem with Mandriva. In short: Hello list. Latest release (5.0.3) attempt to link against libldap_r, and fails on mandriva because of unresolved pthread symbols. However, according to ldap maintainer, libldap_r is supposed to be a private library. Hence autofs should use -lldap, not -lldap_r. Attached patch fix this. -- Guillaume Rousse Moyens Informatiques - INRIA Futurs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe autofs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
