glibc and everything that supports it is compiled with nptl-support on this
system. I guess this is a nptl-issue

Presumably licq isn't yet nptl ready.  I don't have any way to test locally, though.

[Comment 2 Markus Nigbur (RETIRED) 2004-01-02 22:11:05 UTC]

There are two possible fixes. However both solutions are untested and I don't have any NPTL enabled boxes.

The first patch is from the licq-devel maillinglist
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=licq-devel&m=107298190422879&w=2

The second is a solution i got per mail, from a licq dev.
"[...] Can you please comment out line 86 in src/sighandler.c in the licq 1.2.7 sources and try if this solves the problem with NPTL? [...]"

[Comment 3 Heiko Wundram 2004-01-04 14:32:31 UTC]

Created attachment 23161 [details, diff]
Patch to the ebuild, Manifest and additional file files/1.2.7-nptl.patch which remedy licq failing to start

This patchset contains the proposed patch no. 2 (commenting out
pthread_kill_other_threads_np() from src/sighandler.c), along with patches to
the ebuild and Manifest files to contain the information for the new files.
This patch seems to work (tm), at least on my machine. licq builds
successfully, and runs like a charm (the code in src/sighandler.c is only
called on some error, I've not experienced that).

[Comment 4 Heiko Wundram 2004-01-30 09:33:22 UTC]

I've posted a fix for the compile bug about a month ago, and I don't see it included in the portage tree so far. Why is this? Is something broken with the fix? (works for me (tm))

Would you please include this fix, as I'm setting up multiple boxes with NPTL enabled, and I don't feel like creating a /usr/local/portage for each of these to overlay the defunct ebuilds...

[Comment 5 Michele Alzetta 2004-02-24 12:57:10 UTC]

I also have this problem ... kernel 2.6.3 and nptl ... I know I can use the patch for licq, but shouldn't this get fixed in the portage tree sooner or later ?

[Comment 6 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2004-02-25 05:06:07 UTC]

now in portage
