Yesterday i installed all openacs-4 requisite software on AMD Athlon(tm) 64 using Debian Gnu/Linux 3.1.
Kernel is 2.6.8-11-amd64-generic
gcc version is gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)
Debian 3.1 uses NPTL, you can check with
$ getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
NPTL 0.60
Tcl 8.4.11 was installed from source following tips from Andrew Piskorski on Aolserver4 list. See Andrew's post here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/aolserver@listserv.aol.com/msg09388.html
Let me give some feedback from difficulties installing aolserver40r10 from source on that system (maybe it could go into docs if reproductible):
a) make fail with following message:
libnsd.so: undefined reference to `pthread_kill_other_threads_np'
how to solve: see this post
http://www.mail-archive.com/aolserver@listserv.aol.com/msg09034.html
b) after install aolserver4 does not start and abort with this message:
NsTclInitObjs: sizeof(int) < sizeof(long)
Aborted
how to solve: see thi post

following a) e b) workarounds now aolserver4 works for me.
