Folks,

	Okay, I think I've got NetBSD 1.6 installed, and now I'm trying 
to gather together some programs I need for my testing.  One of the 
programs I was trying to compile was postal-0.61 (see 
<http://www.coker.com.au/postal/>), but it appears to require POSIX 
threads.  Looking around in /usr/include, I can only find one header 
file that mentions "thread" anywhere in its name, and it doesn't 
appear to be what is needed.

	Googling for "netbsd" and "pthread", I found some pages that have 
pointed people at the mit-pthreads and unproven-pthreads packages in 
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/.  However, neither of these packages appear to 
build on NetBSD 1.6 for SPARC -- they both complain that:

		configure: error: System type sparc--netbsdelf not recognized
		or not supported.


	Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix these problems?
