I installed Redhat-9 and it has gcc-3.2.2 packaged. I tried to compile a third party software that requires pthread to be configured in gcc. I got this error message while checking libgcc.a $ gcc -print-libgcc-file-name /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/libgcc.a $ nm /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/libgcc.a | grep pthread nm: _fixtfdi.oS: no symbols nm: _fixunstfdi.oS: no symbols nm: _floatditf.oS: no symbols nm: _trampoline.oS: no symbols nm: __main.oS: no symbols nm: _exit.oS: no symbols nm: _ctors.oS: no symbols I did the same thing on another Linux box with Redhat-7/gcc-3.2.1. The check went fine and I could successfully compile the software. Does anybody have ideas on what's going on? BTW. Here is my gcc configuration, $ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --host=i386-redhat-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) Thanks, Bing b.shi@xxxxxxxxxxx
