I am trying to install Synergy (1.3.1) on AIX 5.3 and it gets to checking pthreads and fails:

.
.
.
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes
checking dependency style of g++... gcc3
checking for ranlib... ranlib
checking for dot... NO
checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3
checking if g++ defines correct C++ macro... yes
checking for the pthreads library -lpthreads... no
checking whether pthreads work without any flags... no
checking whether pthreads work with -Kthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -kthread... no
checking for the pthreads library -llthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -pthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -pthreads... no
checking whether pthreads work with -mthreads... no
checking for the pthreads library -lpthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with --thread-safe... no
checking whether pthreads work with -mt... no
checking for pthread-config... no
configure: error: You must have pthreads to compile synergy

As far as I can tell, pthreads libs are installed:
[gemdba@rv-wk-btuc-02:bits64]/home/gemdba/synergy-1.3.1>lslpp -l | grep threads
bos.rte.libpthreads 5.3.0.30 COMMITTED pthreads Library


I don't know how to attach a file from my box but the basic info is above

Thanks in advance for any help.

...
checking for the pthreads library -lpthreads... no

-lpthreads is a compiler/linkeditor flag
-l[red]pthreads[/red] => /usr/lib/lib[red]pthreads[/red].a

What this check should do is check for the presence of the file /usr/lib/libpthreads.a and to see if it is a correct library file. Or in this case (symlink) if it points to a correct library file.

So, Does this give you any clues?

[tt]ls -l /usr/lib/libpthreads.a
ls -l /usr/ccs/lib/libpthreads.a
nm /usr/lib/libpthreads.a
nm /usr/ccs/lib/libpthreads.a
[/tt]

Not really. Being a ST programmer, I'm not up on the gcc compilers nor options. I'm just trying to run the synergy configure executable so I suppose it's missing something specific to AIX. I could not upload a file (it's not a url) so I'll paste in here the part of the log file that pertains to pthreads (it's long so sorry about that). But it looks to me that it's trying to compile with different variations of flags and looking for one that works. Not sure how to tell it to point to one library or another. Is there a path statement that I need to update so it could find the libraries?
