rubyists-

can't someone give me a 30 second brain dump on why i might want, or not want,
to compile ruby using --enable-pthread? i've heard it can be good for apps
that require 'tk'...

If tk was compiled with -lpthread, ruby must be compiled with
--enable-pthread. If tk was not compiled with -lpthread, you don't need
this flag (tk is just an example)
