Обсуждение: FreeBSD 8.0 i386, plpythonu, threaded Python not supported on this platform

Hi all!

./configure --prefix=$HOME/inst/pg-9 --enable-nls --enable-debug --enable-depend --enable-cassert
--enable-thread-safety--with-pgport=5431 --with-libxml --with-libxslt --with-python --with-perl --with-tcl
FLEX=/usr/local/bin/flex

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
checking for python... /usr/local/bin/python
checking for Python distutils module... yes
checking Python configuration directory... /usr/local/lib/python2.6/config
checking how to link an embedded Python application... -L/usr/local/lib/python2.6/config -lpython2.6 -lutil -lm
checking whether Python is compiled with thread support... yes
configure: error: threaded Python not supported on this platform
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Where can I find a description of this problem? Is any chance to fix it?

In config/python.m4 you'll find the following:

# threaded python is not supported on bsd's
AC_MSG_CHECKING(whether Python is compiled with thread support)
pythreads=`${PYTHON} -c "import sys; print(int('thread' in
sys.builtin_module_names))"`
if test "$pythreads" = "1"; then AC_MSG_RESULT(yes) case $host_os in openbsd*|freebsd*)   AC_MSG_ERROR([threaded Python
notsupported on this platform])   ;; esac
 
else AC_MSG_RESULT(no)
fi

So it looks like we throw that error on OpenBSD and FreeBSD.  That was
apparently introduced by this relatively inexplicable commit, back in
2005:

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=d3a0c8dce9380e77734e41becd9aa35618030352

It seems plausible this might not be a problem any more, 5 years on...perhaps you could comment that test out of
configureand see if it
 
works for you.  Or if not, what the actual problem is.
