Hi there. Im trying to get CommuniGate to work on my openbsd 3.4 server but are having some problems due to a bug in the pthreads implementation shipped with 3.4 - it crashes within a few minutes. I think the pthread implementation in 3.5 has been fixed but I dont want to update my entire installation at this time. I read somewhere that it should be possible to replace pthread in 3.4 with the one from 3.5. Im not that good with unix based systems so I havent been very successfull. I've downloaded the latest source via cvs and tried to build the pthread stuff that was in there but it didnt get very far. How do I do this?

Don't freebsd, openbsd, and netbsd share the ports system? If so, you could just install the pthread port and be done with it.

Is there a pthread port? Can't find one, at least not in the freebsd ports tree, the closest thing I found was pth which is supposed to be have a compability layer for pthreads but the documentation didnt get me anywhere.

pthreads would be a part of the base operating system, not the ports.

last time I used FreeBSD, doing a world-upgrade was not very difficult (outside of sendmail...!$!@#), perhaps you should consider just plain upgrading, hopefully OpenBSD is just as painless.

Decided to do a full upgrade today and it went smoothly. Sadly communigate doesnt seem to work anyway. Managed to send some mails off with it but then it crashed. Seems that pthreads didnt improve much in 3.5, or is there perhaps something else I need to do, maybe communigate is using the old pthreads somehow? Any suggestions on what to do?
