Hi,
	I am having a little trouble getting my mod_python to work.

This is the error I get:
[root at BCMP mod_python-2.7.3]# httpd
Syntax error on line 208 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/mod_python.so into server: undefined symbol: 
pthread_create
[root at BCMP mod_python-2.7.3]#


These are the lines that I added to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
208->  LoadModule python_module      /usr/lib/apache/mod_python.so #first 
one in the list
272->AddModule mod_python.c

333-337->
<Directory /var/www/html/python>
   AddHandler python-program .py
   PythonHandler mptest
   PythonDebug On
</Directory>


I have included a transcipt of everything that happens as I try to install 
at the end of the message, my system is a RedHat 7.0 and I have apache 1.3 
installed and python 2.1 which works from command line.

I would really appreciate any advice or tips at all.

   ****** WARNING ******
   Python is compiled with thread support. Apache 1.3 does not use threads.
   On some systems this will cause problems during compilation, on others
   it may result in unpredictable behaviour of your Apache server. Yet on
   others it will work just fine. The recommended approach is to compile
   Python without thread support in a separate location and specify it with
   --with-python option to this ./configure script.

Now don't forget to edit your main config and add
     LoadModule python_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_python.so
and if your configuration uses ClearModuleList, then also
     AddModule mod_python.c
