NetBSD 1.6 doesn't support native threads, but you can install the pth
package (pkgsrc/devel/pth) for that. NetBSD 2.0 will have native threads.

Hello,

I think NetBSD has not native thread support. I say this because i've seen many
pkgsrc softwares having pth as a dependancy.

Install it if you haven't and mabe it'll help :-).
