Technically this was always needed, but on some systems the pthread mutex functions happen to be in the C library, so you could get away without it. 2.1.0 also uses pthread_once, though, which is not typically in the C library. > is there a set of release notes that i need to be aware of, Just CHANGES.txt. > and also are there any patches against 2.1.0 that I may need, if so how do > i find out what they are? No, if there were critical problems we'd do another release to fix them. > will "make uninstall" take out all flavors of protocol buffer libraries (I > used make install on top of a prior install and would like to remove the > older version) I'm not completely sure. "make install" installs a versioned library, then symlinks libprotobuf.so to the version lib. Installing a new version would update the symlink. Uninistalling the old version might delete the symlink. But if you uninstall the old and then re-install the new (just re-run "make install") then everything should be good. > > > thanks > > > > On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 2:22 PM, Kenton Varda <ken...@google.com> wrote: > >> On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 4:14 AM, Sushil Shelly <skshe...@gmail.com>wrote: >> >>> I need to upgrade a linux installation of protocol buffers.
