SUMMARY: libpthread.so for DU 3.2g?

I got 2 replies from our friends down under that basically say the same
thing: DU 3.2x does not provide a libpthread.so, I have to upgrade to
4.0x.
It sounds like some new kernel support for threads was introduced in
4.0b.

As for searching the subsets, installed or not, Ian Mortimer
(mortimer_at_physics.uq.edu.au) gave the following commands:
   cd /usr/.smdb.
   grep libpthread *.inv

Just to make sure, I did a
   find . -type f -name "*.inv" -exec grep 'libpthread\.' {} /dev/null
\;
from the mount point of the DU 3.2g installation CD.
No luck.

My original post and the 2 replies follow.

Dear gurus,
I received a program linked against libpthread.so:

I'd like to get it running on DU 3.2g, but can't find libpthread.so on
the host.
I do have libpthreads.so, though.
I would like to know:
 1) does libpthread.so exist on DU 3.2x?
 2) if so, in which package can I find the library;
 3) for a more general use, where can I find the contents of the
packages, short of doing 
    for i in [A-Z]* ; do cat $i | compress -d | tar tvf - ; done | more
    in each directory of every CD in a distribution?
TIA, I'll summarize.
Andre

On my 4.0C system libpthread is in OSFBASE410 which must be 
installed.  I don't know about 3.2g.
I found this by doing:
   cd /usr/.smdb.
   grep libpthread *.inv
You can find the contents of subsets by looking in /usr/.smdb./*.inv.  
There should be *.inv files for all base operating system subsets
whether they're installed or not.  There may not be *.inv files
for all the associated products subsets though.

        Sorry, this doesn't look good. Looks like the program was
compiled
on DU4.0, and there is little chance of you getting to run this program,
unless you upgrade to the same version. Threads have changed a lot
since version 3.2, and they would involve some level of support at the
kernel level...
        Do post if you get to run your program on 3.2 by some means, but
I'd say your chances are slim.
        Cheers

Hi Andre

Now that I think about it I seem to recall that threads were
introduced with DU 4 so it's probably not distributed with 3.2g.
Cheers
Ian
