10.2 Perl build using -lpthread ?

I'm trying to build a 5.6.1 library with lcl and lpthread libraries as this is needed for Oracle:DBD 1.12. When I build the make in the Configure script I received a message that /usr/ccs/bin/ld: Can't find library for -lpthread. I'm manually running the Configure and have specified the -lcl and -lpthread in the "What libraries to use?" section. Any suggestions

Re: 10.2 Perl build using -lpthread ?

Ron,

libpthread does not exist on 10.20, it was introduced in 10.30 for kernel threads support. It sounds like you're reading instructions for HPUX 11.x.

To get thread support in 10.20 you must link with libdce and libcma (-ldce -lcma). These aren't kernel threads, however, they are user level threads.

Regards,
Steve
