From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221 Description of problem: Guile, as shipped by Red Hat, does not sport threading support, although (ice-9 threads) is there (fooling you into thinking it might work ;-). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run: guile -c '(use-modules (ice-9 threads)) (make-thread (display "Hello, world!\n"))' Actual Results: ERROR: Unbound variable: call-with-new-thread Expected Results: "Hello, world!" ;-) Additional info: Easy fix: add --with-threads to the configure command line, and tack on "%{_libdir}/libqthreads.so.*" to the %files section of the spec file. This shouldn't destabilize anyone not using them; from the INSTALL file that comes with guile (emphasis on the last sentence): "Cooperative threads are not yet thoroughly tested; once they are, they will be enabled by default. The interaction with blocking I/O is pretty ad hoc at the moment. In our experience, bugs in the thread support do not affect you if you don't actually use threads." (By the way, you don't need "--enable-dynamic-linking" on the configure command line anymore, since it's enabled by default on platforms that support it. Check INSTALL for details.)
