pthread usage

[Jules Gilbert]

Dear <ManyPeople>:

I have blades, all running FreeBSD, (version 6.1)  And these machines  
have to communicate, one with another.

I need help making pthread work, as I need to enqueue and dequeue  
logical resource names, so that I can lock and unlock events and  
physical resources.

Does anyone have examples of pthread code that is known to work under  
FreeBSD 6.1?

I have several different problems, but most can be stated as having  
to defer execution of one job until one or more other jobs have  
concluded.

I have tried using "clusterit".  The key component doesn't work,  
sigh...  I don't know whether the problem is the ClusterIt code or  
FreeBSD, either.

So, please help...  Otherwise, I shall have to take a month and  
migrate away -- not something I want to do at all!
