Sorry for the delay in repling, I've only just had a chance to look at this. I think I need to see more of your config.log. configure should attempt to compile a test program in 12 different ways. I suspect that at least one of those is actually compiling and it's the test program that's failing. Can you post the rest of the file?
Certainly:
OK, so it doesn't like the -pthread option, and it can't find libpthread. What does:
locate libpthread
tell you?
bash-2.05b# locate libpthread /usr/pkg/pthreads/lib/libpthread.a /usr/pkg/pthreads/lib/libpthread.so /usr/pkg/pthreads/lib/libpthread.so.1 /usr/pkg/pthreads/lib/libpthread.so.1.60
If that reveals libpthread to be in a non-standard location, try doing:
export CPPFLAGS=-L/some/wierd/directorybefore running configure.
No joy:
bash-2.05b# export CPPFLAGS=-L/usr/pkg/pthreads/lib bash-2.05b# ./configure
