Hi,
I was wondering why our Perl in the Linux Athena release isn't
multithreaded where Red Hat's default is (in RH9 anyway; I haven't had
access to straight RHEL 3 yet so I can't be sure if it's the case
there).
This matters for an application I have to build from source (freewrl, a VRML2
viewer). It's a lot of work building it; I need to build it twice for Athena
and non-Athena machines using the OpenAFS client because of this- the Athena
build results in complaints about missing symbols whe I try to run it on
machines running straight RH9- I believe it's due to this difference in Perl
versions.
Thanks,
Alex
