In this configuration: dev-lang/ruby-1.8.* USE=-threads dev-lang/tk USE=threads I get the following fatal warning from ruby's build system: [...] compiling tk ***************************************************************************** ** ** PTHREAD SUPPORT MODE ERROR: ** ** Ruby is not compiled with --enable-pthread, but your Tcl/Tk ** library seems to be compiled with pthread support.

In my case I cant't upgrade to stable dev-lang/ruby-1.8.6_p287-r12 for amd64 even though *both* tk and ruby are installed without threads support, and threads is not enabled for any of them at emerge time: === $ eix -I dev-lang/tk [I] dev-lang/tk Available versions: 8.4.15-r1 8.4.18 ~8.4.18-r1 ~8.4.19-r1 [M]~8.5.1 [M]~8.5.6 {debug threads truetype} Installed versions: 8.4.18(12:33:54 13/01/09)(-debug -threads) Homepage: http://www.tcl.tk/ Description: Tk Widget Set $ eix -I ruby [I] app-admin/eselect-ruby Available versions: (~)20081211 (~)20081227 Installed versions: 20081227(20:02:35 15/01/09) Homepage: http://www.gentoo.org Description: Manages multiple Ruby versions [U] dev-lang/ruby Available versions: (1.8) 1.8.6_p114 1.8.6_p287-r1 (~)1.8.6_p287-r3 1.8.6_p287-r4 1.8.6_p287-r5 (~)1.8.6_p287-r10 (~)1.8.6_p287-r11 (~)1.8.6_p287-r12 [M](~)1.8.7_p72-r1 [M](~)1.8.7_p72-r2 {berkdb cjk debug doc emacs examples gdbm ipv6 rubytests socks5 ssl threads tk xemacs} Installed versions: 1.8.6_p287-r11(1.8)(20:06:31 15/01/09)(gdbm ipv6 socks5 ssl tk -berkdb -debug -doc -emacs -examples -rubytests -threads -xemacs) Homepage: http://www.ruby-lang.org/ Description: An object-oriented scripting language Found 2 matches. $ fink -1 tk ruby These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!
