Perhaps what would be more fruitful would be investigating a single application that you are interested in. If you like MySQL, download mysql source; if you like postgresql, download postgresql source. Read the source to discover what threading libraries, if any, are needed. Honestly, start with whatever application you care about... For some fun, grab your distribution's CDs, the ones containing source rpms[1], install them, prepare them[2], and grep through all source for libpthread, to see if anything uses libpthread any more; grep for clone, or thread, or other likely keywords.... [1]: debian users already know about apt-get source. Slackware users, just go hunting. :) [2]: rpm -i the src.rpm. rpm -bp path/to/spec/file. (Newer versions of rpm have had rpm -bp replaced with rpmbuild, or rpm-build.) See the rpm documentation on rpm.org for details on using rpm. -- "Soon everyone will have an SUV, making roads obsolete and saving millions in highway costs." -- Mo Rocca
