New installation in SUSE 10.2 of Lazarus 0.9.20.

Compiling gives the error: usr/bin/ld cannot find -lpthread.

I have done a search in the forums for lpthread and had a zero result.
Can anyone help?

You probably need to install a package called libpthread-devel or
similar name

Did this problem get solved? I've got the same thing, and I can't find
the package.

Yes!
Browsing the forum I found someone who had to change the widget set to
GTK2 before Laz would compile. So I tried that. It was not a total
solution, but the warnings changed to something I could sort out. As I
recall, I had to add the gtk2-devel package (from the SUSE dvd) and it
all worked.
Incidentally, the l in lpthread just means library. In other words it
wants library pthread (I think!) which must be available in
gtk2/gtk2-devel.

Good luck!

This is a note to say that i had the same problem with Opensuse, and
that installing the gtk2-devel package cleared it right up.

I know it is very late :-) but actually I got this problem on a Fedora
installation.

As it turned out there was a missing package.

After installing glibc-devel everything was okay.

Maybe that can be of user for somebody, who searches the internet for
an answer.
