pthread problems

[Jeff Mitchell]

Hackers--

I'm having major troubles upgrading my ports, and nearly all of them are related to pthreads in some way or another.  After trying to troubleshoot a lot of these individually, I'm at the point of thinking I should redo my pthread libraries...it seems like something's very messed up internally.

I've been Googling and searching newsgroups and all sorts of stuff but just can't really find anything that helps.

For reference, my system is a 5.2R upgraded to 5.2.1R via cvsup.  After taking a quick look at some of the issues I'm having below, can anyone tell me what course of action I should pursue (i.e. how to figure out what's going wrong with everything, or if I should try redoing my pthreads libraries, or what) and how I should do that action?

I know I have pthreads installed (see the openldap error), and linuxthreads are installed too (although configure scripts don't seem to find those)...see the openldap error, again).

Here's a couple of examples.  For each pair, the portupgrade error is shown on the first lines, the relevant builld/configure/link error on the following lines:

! devel/commoncpp (commoncpp2-1.0.8_1,1)        (compiler error)

It goes on and on.  I've attached the output from "ls /var/db/pkg" but don't know what else would help.  If anyone needs anything more, just let me know.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
