Subject: Re: seg fault when building ruby 1.8.6-p111 on MacOS X 10.5

So I was able to get ruby to compile by removing the --enable-pthread  
option. I'm not sure why that was needed though, since I've always  
used it before. I did see a reference to ruby not liking pthread  
enabled if tcl/tk's pthread was disabled, but that there was a warning  
mechanism in place to handle that.

I'm going to try building my own version of tcl/tk and seeing if I can  
get things to be happy again with pthread, but if anyone knows a  
different way of fixing things up, I'd really appreciate it.
