It was working previously. I have cleaned up my distfiles dir to try and save some space today. I also have tried to 'emerge gcc' and it fails. I am not sure if this has something to do with it.
pthread lib, is a component of the glibc. bash-2.05b$ qpkg -f /usr/lib/libpthread.so sys-libs/glibc * bash-2.05b$ look in this folder '/usr/lib/' if you have this lib.
No, I have a libpthread.a I am emerging the glibc that you mention now. I will have to check the results when I return from work. Any idea on what would make this lib disappear? Would the new 3.2.2 gcc emerge remove it? (although it was not successfull?)
No, the file does not exist. I did a emerge glibc which is what I assumed you were suggesting.
Fixed. Dumb user trick(s) :(( I had run out of disk space over the weekend or close to it compiling gcc 3.2.2 and moved /usr to another partition and made a symlink. It appears that the glibc, glib and some other libraries use symlinks or something to that effect because several libraries just up and disappeared. I had another drive in the system I was not using (I forgot it was there) and moved /usr to it, recompiled glibc and voila, the file now appears. I had just happened to notice when I was merging glibc again it was making symlinks to the files in /usr/lib and that is when it hit me what the problem was.
Bad luck, glad you figured it out, thanks.
