Milter-greylist

I am trying to compile milter-greylist v 

I run:
./configure  --with-libGeoIP --prefix=/usr --with-libpthread=/usr/lib/

And the output I get is:


If I leave off all config options, it works just fine.

checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... no
checking for pthread_create in -lc_r... no
checking for pthread_create in -lpthreads -lpthread... no
Required libpthread not found. Use --with-libpthread


libpthread is in /usr/lib.

Can anyone help?

My system is CentOS 4.

Which files exactly? You need "libpthread.so" without version number.

Try "yum install glibc-headers glibc-devel", please.

Your system is outdated.

Thanks for the quick reply... :)

locate libpthread.so gives me:

/usr/lib/libpthread.so

/lib/libpthread.so.0
/lib/tls/libpthread.so.0
/lib/tls/i686/nosegneg/libpthread.so.0
/lib/i686/libpthread.so.0

The following two packages are installed:

glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.36
glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.36


config.log shows me:

Too many "yes" appearing here where a path value is probably expected ...

Instead of /usr/lib "/usr/lib/lib" is taken as ld argument ...
Similar /usr/lib/include ... some --with... argument to configure should
take a "/usr" instead of "/usr/lib" ...

Hi Johann -

I changed my configure line to what you suggested and I get the following:

configure:6455: result: no
configure:6460: checking for pthread_create in -lpthreads -lpthread
configure:6495: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Iyes/include -I/usr/include -Iyes/include -DUSE_GEOIP   -Lyes/lib -Wl,--rpath=yes/lib -L/usr/lib -Wl,--rpath=/usr/lib -Lyes/lib -Wl,--rpath=yes/lib conftest.c -lpthreads -lpthread  -lGeoIP  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthreads
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:6502: $? = 1

I tried it at a similar environment and following can be seen:

If you give the configure option "--with-libGeoIP" *without* a real path via
an equate, configure asumes a "yes" which is used in every compile config test.
This currupts every configure test since on, because "-lGeoIP" is attached but not
found. "configure" thinks -pthread is missing but in real libGeoIP is the cause for
the failure of this compile test.

The autoconf setup and thus configure does not search for the location
or verify the existence of a library given by "--with-....". I don't
know this could be solved better in autoconf, maybe Manu does. ;)

Try a configure without --with-libGeoIP or
give a "--with-libGeoIP=/my/path/to/libGeoIP" ...
(e.g. --with-libGeoIP=/usr/local, "/lib" or "/include" is 
added automatically).
