Dear Sir,
I have tried to compile your pthreads package (version 1.6 beta 5) on
our new Linux machine (version 1.3.97). This failed almost immediately
with the message that in include/sys/timers.h 'struct timespec' was
redefined. And indeed, there is a standard include file that defines
this structure. When I comment this structure definition out, the threads
package compiles correctly, and passes (almost) all tests.
I have not tried to make this structure definition conditional, since
I don't want to hack in your configuration scripts.
Another problem is that your test program 'test_pw' fails, but this may be
caused by the the fact that I've not compiled it with the correct
priviledges.
Apart from these small problems your software compiles correctly, and we
find it very helpful in the development of our parallel programs.
Sincerely,
