Pound on ntpl system / Thierry Coopman <thierry@keytradebank.com>

Hi,

I finally got nptl to work ...
The problem was the CHOST definition in /etc/make.conf, it needs at 
least a 486-*

I have one system on nptl and another one on linuxthreads.

it looks like the load balancer using a least connected algo sends about 
10% more requests to the nptl machine, so I could conclude from this 
that it's faster. It also consumes far less CPU cycles, the CPU load if 
the nptl machine is 1/3 of the linuxthreads machine

Hi Thierry, 
Glad to hear you have solved the problem--but there's not really enough
information for me to replicate it in the distro I use.  Any hint as to
what to change/update for RH systems?

Haven't touched a Red Hat in years.
The general hints I can provide is:
* use a  2.6.x kernel
* make sure you have the 2.6 include files on your system, or point the 
compilation of glibc to the kernel sources
* recompile glibc (probably define nptl on the .configure command)
* execute /lib/libc.so.6, the output should have nptl

Not sure there is an RPM solution for this...

I've been slow to move to a 2.6 kernel.  What distro are you using?  The
RH9 distro is a 2.4 kernel with NPTL back ported.  I've had some major
problems with it, but it now seems to be working runing Pound with NPTL 
off.  I was hoping to get to work with NPTL on as an intrim solution.
