Could someone explain this to to me. I checked the macports page a few 
days back and it said it disables/deletes -enable-pthreads due to some 
bug. So does that not mean that it's not there. As pointed above, it 
uses thread_hooks instead.

1. Is there any commandline option or other way of my ascertaining 
whether my install uses pthreads or not.

Another newb question:

2. One of the prev posts suggests altering config.h and running 
./configure. However, if one is using sudo port install how does one do 
this? I do not have a "configure" in my ruby folder and my config.h 
(/opt/local/var/macports/software/ruby/1.8.7-p22_3+darwin_9_powerpc+thread_hooks/opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin9.4.0/config.h) 
does not contain GETCONTEXT.

Thanks.
