When you start [re]building ports now, they may pick up libpthread instead of PTHREAD_LIBS (currently -lc_r). Then you may have things linked to both libc_r and libpthread, or new applications may depend on libraries that were linked to libc_r. You can't depend on more than one threads library. I suspect it's going to be a mess for a while, but use of an appropriate libmap.conf should make things usable again. After ports catches up to these changes and you rebuild all your ports with the new threads library, then you'll no longer need the libmap.conf. Unless you have nvidia provided drivers/libraries. -- Dan EischenReceived on Fri Jan 30 2004 - 05:38:35 UTC
