I really don't know what I could be doing wrong, but on a _stock_ FC4 install, I'm having a segfault in a pthread call, specifically when statically linked and including iostream (or other STL includes like string) Here's the code: #include <pthread.h> #include <iostream> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { pthread_mutexattr_t attr; pthread_mutexattr_init( &attr ); } And I compile with: g++ -g -c example.c g++ -static -g -o example example.o -lpthread The resulting program crashes in pthread_mutexattr_init. If I merely remove the include of <iostream>, it works fine. This also works fine on FC3. A dynamic linking variation that blows up: g++ -g -o example example.o (leave off the -lpthread, yes this links) I also noticed that there are _2_ libpthread.so files. One in /usr/lib, and another in /lib which is the one ldd points to. Finally, if I remove the <iostream> include, and attempt to dynamically link, it _finally_ complains about not finding the pthread_mutexattr_init call. Was it somehow getting a pthread_mutexattr_init from the libstdc++ library?? Can anyone else confirm this crash? Has anyone else seen this problem? I've googled everywhere, and even posted to 2 forums without *any* response. And, yes, I must statically link in my case. Thanks for any help, Lee
