Here is the error: checking for PTHREADSTUBS... configure: error: Package requirements (pthread-stubs) were not met: No package 'pthread-stubs' found

and there are no *stubs in the pth/pth-devel rpms. Ack to google, the headers are supposedly in the libxcb tarball, but the libxcb rpm available for even F11, is many, many versions too old and doesn't contain the headers needed. Thanks, yell if any more ideas surface.
