I find following Note at http://curl.haxx.se/docs/install.html . This says "no
thread support" in a case of linux. that shakes me. why should there be any OS
not supporting threaing? Should it be the same with Solaris 5.7 ?

=========================
OpenLDAP
              You'll find OpenLDAP information at:

              http://www.openldap.org

              You need to install it with shared libraries, which is enabled
when running the ldap configure script with "--enable-shared". With my linux
2.0.36 kernel I also had to disable using threads (with --without-threads),
because the configure script couldn't figure out my system.
