_mutexattr_setrobust_np in -lc... yes (<- From configure) Comment: Okay...It's available in "-lc" what does that mean? and if it's available why is it causing a build error? Comment: What does "-lc" mean? Would declaring pthread_mutexattr_setrobust_np as "external" on the condition of some define solve the problem? Again sorry for the long post, TIA to anyone who can share some insight. Regards, Bob Young -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
