Have you linked with -lpthread? And made sure there are NO -lc on the driver link line?

[AwadheshPandey]

calls to shl_load(3x) fail with errno 22 (invalid argument) because the pthread_mutex_lock stub returns zero

You need to make sure that none of the shlibs you use are linked with -lc either. Try ldd on your application.

He means if you have your shlibs in the wrong order, you're hosed. See the link Awadhesh mentions.

Hmm, this may be all wrong. That errno 22 is related to shl_load.

If you are calling pthead_create and you have the wrong order, you get ENOSYS, 251.

Basically you get 22, EINVAL, by:
invalid thread attributes
The value specified by thread is invalid.
The scheduling policy or scheduling attributes

You need to look at your parms closely. Try replacing your attributes by NULL and check again.
