Subject: problems in Linux


Hi again,

I managed to compile and install the pthreads-1_60_beta5 package on
Linux by commenting out the definition for "struct timespec" in

But now I'm encountering the following problems when compiling a
hello.c file:

$ gcc hello.c -lpthread
bfd assertion fail /opt/release/pub/bin/binutils/bfd/elfcode.h:4716
bfd assertion fail /opt/release/pub/bin/binutils/bfd/elf32-i386.c:624
$ 

hello.c is just...

#include <stdio.h> 
main(){printf("hello\n");}

What is bfd assertion fail?  On my system, there isn't any /opt
directory.  Is there anybody out there who's using pthreads under
Linux on a regular basis?  Have you encountered such problems?
