Try setting a good example. We need to distinguish *) what the actual dependencies of simgear are *) what the dependencies should be *) what dependencies are checked by ./configure As previously explained more than once, the fact is, at the moment, several parts of simgear do depend on OpenThreads. It is therefore entirely appropriate for ./configure to check for this, so that if needed, an informative error message can be given to the user. Several people have suggested re-arranging simgear to remove this dependency. If somebody wants to do that, great, please go ahead. After the actual dependency is removed, then it would be appropriate to remove the dependency-check from ./configure. Then and not sooner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
