GLib Thread not initialized

0

Hi there,

I download the 1.6.3 source package, compile and install went OK, but on execution I've got an error raising from GLib :

GLib-ERROR **: The thread system is not yet initialized. aborting...

Can anyone help... seems to be a GLib problem rather than Wiresharks... does glib require some intialization or so ? do I need glib-devel package ?

Thanks !

Tips: I've got a 2.6.17 kernel from Mandriva with glib version 2.0.0.1200.11 installed

I applied the two patches.

Alas, there is still something wrong with the build system. I don't know libtool at all. Since this is a new problem I make a new forum entry and consider this one solved.

Thanks again for your help.

Rev 38045, Rev 38046 - Bug 6540 - Don't use g_mutex without having threads.
