I did find one entry where someone made a backup copy of wine-pthread from an older wine install and that works for them but I am not that good with linux yet. I suppose I could uninstall wine, disable wine repositories for latest version, and lock myself in on whatever version comes with 8.04 from official repositories. >> > >> > >> Wine pthread is dead, gone and not going to return because Linux and >> UNIX both do not support it anymore.

With the most recent Linux kernels, pthreads is the ONLY thread method supported. Thus, there is no need for wine-pthreads anymore. I don't know how to access the current Wine threading methods, but they are all pthread based. James McKenzie
