Thanks
I am running on Linux and I tried what you suggested with the extern...
It did compile now but gave no out put on the syslog. Whereas when I compile
with just g++ it works fine.
I am a novice to pthreads and don't really understand much of how it works
so I'm not really sure where to start looking.
Thanks again
