Re: POSIX threads - pthread.h problem with configure on Solaris 7

[Banzaitron <banzaitron@adelphia.net>]

Hi Edward, I tried adding the LIBS env variable and rerunning configure, but
I'm getting the same error.  I even compiled and installed the GNU pthreads
package into /usr/local, but I'm still getting this error.  Any other ideas
or things to look at?

Thanks,
Andy
