kernel-headers problem

Hi guys,

I am currently trying to compile the User Mode Linux inside my Arch box. I think my problem is related to the lack of the file /usr/include/linux/threads.h. I know that this file is a header provided by some legacy kernel-threads package. My question is: is there any way to find this header inside the the arch linux or is replaced by another header?

Thanks,

no, arch doesnt support linuxthreads anymore, it only supports NPTL afaik.

Is there any way to get it to support LinuxThreads?

Only I have to get MySQL 3.23.58 working and that appears to need it.

No. Glibc 2.4 dropped linuxthreads support. Don't try and downgrade glibc, otherwise you will need to recompile almost every single package on the system.

iphitus, is there any way of getting that old version of mysql to compile without it?

Or is there some way of getting it to think it was there?
