This would do it. I'm not sure if wine would need to be re-emerged but it wouldn't hurt. As I understand it, NPTL is a different implementation of the threading API rather than a different API altogether. > I read somewhere that I should use GCC 3.3 (I'm using 3.2.3).

I don't think that gcc3.3 necessary for NPTL. gcc3.3 has other advantages (better optimization and such) but does not work for some apps. Fortunately, most (maybe all?) problem apps have patches in portage already. > Do I need to re-emerge anything else? That should be it. Also be aware that some apps don't work with NPTL. The only one I have come across is app-i18n/canna but there are sure to be others. Probably very few, though. -- Regards, Jason Stubbs -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
