Description Alexander Kellett 2003-12-02 11:59:52 UTC

as a workaround for problems with ruby and threading the option --enable-pthread can be passed to ruby's configure. this option will enable applications creating using the future kdebindings 3.2 packages 
(includes qt and kde bindings) to work on my system at the very least :)

actual line in question:
	local myconf='--enable-shared'
should be
	local myconf='--enable-shared --enable-pthread'
to fix the problems with segv's on startup.

thanks very much!
Alex

Right, Ruby upstream decided to turn pthread disabled by defaultin the upcoming release. If you want to have it configurable we'd addlocal USE flag for --enable-pthread. What do you think?

jfyi i've got the kde/qt bindings working even without the option now :)
