Re: [uml-user] NPTL/db4 problem with FC3

Re: [uml-user] NPTL/db4 problem with FC3

[Peter]

(Me Too ++: I'm running into the same issues with a non-nptl DB4 and rpm 
on rhel4)

And making it even more interesting:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/release-notes/as-x86/

"Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 will no longer include support for 
LinuxThreads. Therefore, applications that require LinuxThreads support 
must be updated before they will be able to work properly on a Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 5 system."

I would appreciate a description of what needs to be done in order for 
xen or UML to support the use of nptl inside the guest server.  And any 
info on progress towards trying to support it.

Regards, Peter
