 Hi,
 
 I'm trying to hunt down which test case passed when you modified the
 ./configure script.  I did a "make patch" then replaced all instances of
 -pthread with -lpthread.  The result was the following changes:
 
 --- configure.orig      2005-11-18 10:19:01.000000000 +0000

 After this and a "make configure" dspam still did not detect pth properly.
 
 Was there anything else you did ?
 Could you perhaps send through a diff of your modified ./configure ?
 
 Also, just to make sure were on the same page you're running
 pth-2.0.0nb2, right ?
 
 thanks,
 
 adrian.
