Does anyone know where I can find the pthread library for Linux? And I don't want any rude "go google it" responds. I tried that, and all I came up with was one download available for win32.

Thats what you are going to get -- google for "man pthread" and google will return links to the linux man pages. If you want linux functions always google for "man <function name>". Doesn't your linux installation also have the man pages installed? on the command line you should be able to do the same thing as google.

This pretty much explains it:

The default system libraries include pthread funcitons. No additional libraries or CFLAGS are necessary to use this API.

Thank you, I found out our mainframe does have it already.
