Maybe comp.os.linux.misc was the wrong group...
So I try it again ?
I've got the include files for the POSIX thread package (by C. Provenzano I think) on my Linux box.
But I found no special thread library nor the thread functions in libc (5.2.18), just 3 or 4 of them.
What do I need ? A new libc, the thread library or what ?

By the way, are there any developments to implement threads into the Linux kernel (as in OS/2 or Solaris) ?

Any help is gladly appreciated.

The URL is something like:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/lang/c/pthreads-1.0.tar.gz

Untar it and you will see all the documentation including the fact that you
need an updated libc, and must be running linux 1.3.something or 2.0.0
to use the release version of the Posix threads library.
