Non-debian environments recursively links everything in. This is a bug fixed in
debian. It is slowly getting accepted by kde people.
For details, see the "excessive linking" thread on kde-buildsystem maillist

Yes. and this is the right thing to do. there seems to be several includes of
pthread.h in the sources, so it should specify it.

This is getting slowly changed. 'Cause it is a bug. It should not be pulled in
by other KDE libraries unless those other libraries *exposes* the library. I
don't think any of the kde libraries exposes pthread. (a quick way to see this
is looking at the installed header files and see that none of them is including
a pthread header file)

Most of them. We are fixing them one by one.

Genius, I cannot turn off a hard disk, how does it work?
You should log from a line over a LCD IRC case, in such way from AutoCAD you
either must open the terminale, or must unmount the utility on the
wordprocessor of a file of the device over the hardware to install a connector.
