Linux linuxthreads vs pthreads 1.0.0 -- omninames core dump !

[Gerald Gutierrez]

Hi all.

I've decided to switch over to Linux to try out OmniORB. Getting the
precompiled version, I ran omninames and was told I needed
libpthreads.so.0. I didn't have a threads package installed and could not
find the linuxthreads package as was mentioned in the documentation, so I
got myself th PCThreads 1.0 package, which is supposed to be the first
release of the POSIX compliant threads library. It installed to
/usr/lib/libpthreads.so.1. Seeing as the last number was different, I took
the chance and linked the .1 to .0.

Now omninames cores.

Am I using the wrong threads library ? If so, could someone please point
me to the correct package ? If not, well, then I must have some other
problem. What could it be ?

Thanks for any help.
