I created  new httpserver application on linux (ubuntu, lazarus 1.4.4
, fpc 2.6.4) and needed to add this code by hand

  {$IFDEF UNIX}
    //{$IFDEF UseCThreads}
      cthreads,
    //{$ENDIF}
  {$ENDIF}

Should/could this be done automatically?

Also, when I ran the application I received this message

"The file "pthread_create.c" was not found.  Do you want to locate it
yourself?"

So I commented out:

//Application.Threaded:=True;

No, instead one should define UseCThreads (in Other node of compiler
options) when multithreading is about to be used in *nix environment.
You don't need it for single threaded application, which is why by
default it's not there.

That's probably the debugger looking for source code of about to be
called functions, normally you can just ignore the message and
continue debugging.
