$apt-file search libpthread shows that usr/lib/libpthread.so is shipped as part of libc6-dev. The same with usr/lib/libdl.so. (The libraries also ship with a number of libc variants). Since other software compiles, I'm guessing that you already have libc6-dev is installed? Does re-installing libc6-dev help? Do you know the full commands that the linker is failing on? Can you provide the exact error message? HTH Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
