   libcairo<version>.so (and it's symlinks) isn't linked against it.

   From reading config.log it seems pthread is detected just fine, though. 
"checking pthread.h usability", "checking pthread.h presence", "checking 
for pthread.h" all return positive.  And that's the only mention of 
"pthread" in there..

   There's /usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig/cairo.pc, and it doesn't mention pthread.

   Well, I've only done that about 20 times already, but thanks for the 
tip.  :-)

  (Just don't tell me to rebuild pth, it's got a million dependencies.)

   Sorry, it's NetBSD 1.6.  I assumed that everyone saved several months of 
mailing list traffic, just like I do.  :-)
