I noticed that on my all x86 laptop (running 2.6.3;no NPTL) I have the pthread lib manual pages, but on both my desktop machines (all ~x86 2.6.3 w/NPTL) there are no pthread manual pages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fresh Install of all ~x86 and nptl USE flag set (it may be reproduceble on non-fresh installs as well but this is what I used) 2. Try to view a pthread man page (ie. man pthread_create) Actual Results: No manual entry for pthread_create Expected Results: Showed the manual page.

Actually no pthread* man pages are installed enigma root # makewhatis && apropos pthread pthread: nothing appropriate
This needs to be CLOSED. Looks like this was fixed at some point. The several pthread_* functions I attempted to lookup succeeded, however apropos and whatis still return: pthread: nothing appropriate
This seems to have been fixed for quite a while now.
