Package: libxml2-dev Version: 2.6.26.dfsg-1 Severity: normal When trying to compile xml2 dependent software, it turns out that the 'xml-config --libs' forget about the dependancy on pthreads.
I have no explanation why but when trying to link xml2, I get the error: /usr/lib/libxml2.a(threads.o): In function `xmlRMutexLock': (.text+0x478): undefined reference to `pthread_cond_wait' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [server] Error 1 make: *** [default] Error 2 And xml2-config gives: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tests]$ xml2-config --libs -L/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lm Where a -lpthread would have been required. More suprisingly, xml2-config.in does support the PTHREAD detection but doesn't not have this feature activated. I guess it's up to the developers to agree on the use by default or not of pthreads in the library. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages libxml2-dev depends on: ii libxml2 2.6.26.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii zlib1g-dev [libz-dev] 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - development libxml2-dev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information Regards -- Emmanuel Fleury | Office: 211 Associate Professor, | Phone: +33 (0)5 40 00 35 24 LaBRI, Domaine Universitaire | Fax: +33 (0)5 40 00 66 69 351, Cours de la Libération | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 33405 Talence Cedex, France | URL: http://www.labri.fr/~fleury
