Hello list, This one annoys me for quite a long time now. I am using xfce4 (but that's not the point) and there is this problem with libxml2. It manifests itself thus:
** (xfce-mcs-manager:89174): WARNING **: Module /usr/X11R6/lib/xfce4/mcs-plugins /libxfce4settings.so cannot be opened (/usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.5: Undefined symbol "pthread_equal") (meaning that the properties panel for the xfce4-panel cannot be used and it's not possible to configure it anymore). Now I've searched the archives and found this: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2503272+0+archive/2004/freebsd-questions/20040314.freebsd-questions and the only reply: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2513997+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2004/freebsd-questions/20040314.freebsd-questions I've recompiled libxml2 a thousend times, with every possible combination of WITH_THREADS=false, WITHOUT_THREADS=true, THREADS=off, THREADS=no, etc, etc. /var/db/ports/libxml2/options has WITHOUT_THREADS=true, meaning that the THREADS option for libxml2 is OFF. I've recompiled each and ever port that depends on libxml2 (which is A LOT of ports) with the same make flags to no avail. What am I supposed to do? The problems seems to be only with xfce4. One single time I think I hit the correct combination of make flags, resulting in xfce4 working correctly again with libxml2. Then, some days ago, I updated libxml2 and there it is again. Every other application (e.g. the Gimp) seems to works fine (I think). Why is this, what would I have to do and where should I read up on the problem? Gotta have it fixed! Argh! :-) I'd really appreciate any input concerning this! Hopefully I've provided enought information on the subject.
