Thanks a lot for ur response. actually i had a feeling that this
problem was a very frequent one. anyway, here is a short description of
the code ..

pthread_t tid; /*global declaration*/
void create()
{
.....
pthread_create(&tid, NULL, threadfunction, (void *) NULL);
pthread_join(threadfunction, NULL); /*immediately folowing thread
create statement*/
 ...
}
void dummy()
{
....
create();
....
}
int main()
{
....
dummy();
....
}

void *threadfunction(void *)
{
....
pthread_exit(0);
}

thats it!! would u like to have any more details?
i think i have included all the required header files.
