Do we have a definitive explanation of just how bad the current wine/pthread incompatibilities are, and/or where current efforts are at? I'd not known there were any efforts to get wine working with nptl (hence my perhaps exaggerated alarm) until the link to Ingo's kernel patch was posted (aug2002 moreover) which suggests at least that some people *are* working on this (phew). I would be very grateful to know what the status is. Anyone? TIA.
I've been in touch with Ingo, and I'm looking into the issue. However I'm currently moving, so things are a bit hectic around here, and I don't have good internet access. Hopefully things will settle down a bit soon so that I can get some real work done...
I realize that this discussion is targeted at a real solution to the problem, however some of us are already in the situation and are too dumb to know how to deal with it. On the RedHat Phoebe (Beta versions already exhibit this problem) it was said that using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 would solve the problem but that didn't work for me. However, there was a workaround on the vmware newsgroup (vmware is Even simpler and much better take the kernel from rawhide, at the moment that's version 2.4.20-2.34 but any kernel starting with 2.4.20-2.30 should work. I tested it myself with 2.4.20-2.33 .
