Re: Configuration crash - can't start new thread

You have a broken Python installation. You can work around this using
the options --useThreads=0.

 Thanks,

Hi,

I tried to compile the library on a linux sys (xeon). It gives the error

May I know what's wrong? I also can't find any configure.log file.

Thank you.
