Bug#472675: SuperTuxKart didn't start

[Joerg Henrichs]

Hi,

googling for the error messages shows a lot of threads. Apparently there are
at least three different reasons:
1) problems with mesa (esp. redhat 7.0/7.2)
   That's probably not the case here
2) problems with the opengl installation
   (mixture of header files and libs)?
3) different pthread implementations, e.g.:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20041230225951.L51485%40c1518.nl.compuware.com
"glIsValidContext() fails when there is a mismatch in the pthread
implementation between different libraries used by Plib."


and:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20050112024345.L67287%40c1518.nl.compuware.com
"When I configure ttt3d with
#!/bin/sh
prefix=/usr/local/cvs-plib
env LDFLAGS="-pthread -L$prefix/lib" \
CPPFLAGS="-pthread -I$prefix/include" \
./configure --prefix=$prefix --with-GL=/usr/X11R6
gmake

it runs just fine.
"
Note the -pthread.

Does adding -pthread to plib/STK compilation (not sure that STK needs it though)
solve this issue?

Otherwise: I don't think that this is a SuperTuxKart problem, it looks more
like a plib issue to me. But if there is anything we can do to help, please
let us know.
