Re: gnome and pthreads

["Frank W. Miller" <fwmiller cornfed com>]

Thank you for the guidance, I apologize for being a Gnome newbie.  I 
guess I was hoping that this stuff would just work under Red Hat 9 since 
its a fairly mature distribution if not a little bit dated now.  I guess 
not.

[fwmiller localhost fwmiller]$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

[fwmiller localhost fwmiller]$ locate gthread-2.0.pc
[fwmiller localhost fwmiller]$

I'm assuming this means that I don't have these things installed.  Just 
for grins, heres the output of my gnome-config command

[fwmiller localhost gnome]$ gnome-config --modversion
gnome-libs-1.4.1.2
[fwmiller localhost gnome]$ pkg-config --modversion gthread
1.2.10


So, three questions. First if I need to upgrade, how big a deal is that, 
I have not done it before and really dont want to hassle with it much.  
Second, what would be the procedure for getting threading to work with 
these versions?  Third, if I have to link with the newer versions, I'm 
assuming that anyone who wants to run this program will have to have 
that stuff installed on there system correct?

Thanks again,
FM
