I received the following problems while trying to build postgresql-8.1.3 on
FedoraCore4. Can anyone provide any feedback or suggestions for help?

I experienced this error while running this ./configure:
./configure --enable-thread-safety --prefix=/cgrid/local/postgresql
on FedoraCore4:
checking thread safety of required library functions... no
configure: error:
*** Thread test program failed. Your platform is not thread-safe.
*** Check the file 'config.log'for the exact reason.
***
*** You can use the configure option --enable-thread-safety-force
*** to force threads to be enabled. However, you must then run
*** the program in src/tools/thread and add locking function calls
*** to your applications to guarantee thread safety.
[mengland@localhost postgresql-8.1.3]$
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Install some extra/different
libraries? (I'm trying a ./configure run after installing
"linuxthreads-devel" right now.)
I didn't have this problem building 8.1.0/8.1.1 with the same procedure on
Centos4.1 and Debian3.1 (sarge) systems, for whatever that's worth.

For what it's worth, this seems to be pertinent part of config.log:
[...]
configure:16424: checking for the pthreads library -lpthreads
configure:16462: gcc -o conftest -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes

configure:16468: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

...although the thing is so long that it's hard to tell.
I couldn't find a pthreads library/package/thing anywhere, or at least not
yet. My system *does* have a /usr/lib/libpthread.so (singular), but no
libpthreads (plural). Installing linuxpthreads-devel didn't solve anything.
Any thoughts?
