TeamSpeak on Fedora Core 4 (a.k.a libpthread.so.0 no found)

[Mephisto]

I suggest the admins to make this a sticky already, cuz there's going to be questions about this as soon as Fedora Core 4 goes gold (and probably earlier).

On the latest FC4 snapshot, Teamspeak won't start, complaining with the following error:
./TeamSpeak.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The reason for this is that TeamSpeak not only *looks* old (sorry, libborqt is just flatout ugly on modern systems), it uses old library functions as well, and the Fedora developer team found it was about time to remove that old functionality. Lucky for you, you can still use it, by making some modifications to the startup script. I use the following script to start teamspeak:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/share/teamspeak
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.xx LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/obsolete/linuxthreads/:/usr/share/teamspeak ./TeamSpeak.bin $*

this assumes teamspeak is installed in /usr/share/teamspeak. edit this path to where your teamspeak is located. or you can also just download my rpm package here:
http://www.mephisto.ma.cx/apt/fedora...-2.mr.i386.rpm
[edit:]
forgot :P
the rpm needs this one as dependency:
http://www.mephisto.ma.cx/apt/fedora...-1.mr.i386.rpm

A big thanks for the packages.

I'd like to add that if you're using IIIMF for multilingual input and don't actually need to use it for TS, setting XMODIFIERS to nothing will remove a short response lag you will encounter when first trying to type something in say, the messaging dialog and address book.

I hacked Memphis' script into:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/share/teamspeak
XMODIFIERS=
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.xx LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/obsolete/linuxthreads/:/usr/share/teamspeak ./TeamSpeak.bin $*

thank you for the input.
I can't test it myself as I'm on Gentoo only. Let's wait for some more feedback from users then we'll make it sticky. If I or the other mods forget about it, pls pm and whack on me
