That doesn't really help unless it's handled officially upstream. i.e. I believe a given SONAME for a given library name on a given platform should always produce the exact same ABI. >> The problem is that Guile 1.8 in Etch was compiled without threads >> (due to some serious problems at the time). > > OTOH, I don't remember seeing any "serious" thread-related bug fix > since 1.8.0. Or did I miss it? If I recall correctly, the problem was that "make check" was failing when threads were enabled. I re-enabled threads because it looked like the problem may have been fixed (perhaps indirectly) in 1.8,.2, and I wanted to test that in unstable. --=20 Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org; previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG as of 2002-11-03 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
