Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game /

I made the move to gentoo lately. I really like it.
Now I could even try Planeshift :-)
But since yesterday I have a NPTL enabled glibc as well, and the problems are back.

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Planeshift and Redhat 9.0
« on: June 09, 2003, 11:16:51 pm »
Hello all,

while I had sucess compiling the planeshift 0.2.010 source & art distribution from sourceforge on my Redhat 9.0 Linux with Nvidia OpenGL, I experienced a lockup in the character generation screen. The lockup locks the keyboard for all programs, not just psclient and  occurs always after the console prints:

PreloadModels: Preloading complete

Logging in with a test account I found in the forum produced a lock-up as well.

I suspected threading issues, because RH 9.0 uses the Native Posix Threading Library (NPTL) instead of LinuxThreads. I set the Env.  variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 to disable the NPTL but then OpenGL wouldn\'t load anymore.  Ok, switched to software rendering, voila it runs... but clearly planeshift wasn\'t designed to run in software render mode, too slow.

It seems PS depends somehow on the points the LinuxThreads library differs from the posix thread standard, as the NPTL implements the standard more strict.

Is this a known problem, and is there a trivial fix?
