[ghemical-devel] OSX Problems (previously Moving Along)

[Donald Ephraim Curtis]

My apologies, i should explain this a little bit more;

basically, after closing the window, 'ghemical' is still running but the 
window disappears; you have to ctrl-c it.  a backtrace in gdb doesn't 
reveal much, just that gtk_main_loop() is waiting on a semaphore to 
clear and it never comes.  I haven't been able to find much information, 
however i did clear up a problem with the configure.ac to allow the 
disabling of threads.  basically the checks for GTK need to come before 
GTHREADS and OPENBABEL.  I'm not sure WHY this is, but whenever i would 
give the --disable-threads; configure would say that the proper 
pkg-config was not available which is a lie.  config.log made it seem 
like PKG_CONFIG was never getting populated.  i think it had to do with 
the fact that the first time PKG_CONFIG was being used by configure was 
in the "if ENABLE_THREADS" context, meaning PKG_CONFIG wasn't getting 
defined if you specified --disable-threads.  phew, does that make sense? 
  here's the proposed patch, let me know if it seems ok as it was a 
guess, not something i trust to be more correct.

Geoff, have you seen anything like this?  I believe you said you were 
developing on a MAC.  This is OSX 10.3 that i'm having the problem, i 
don't _think_ it's an issue on 10.4 but i could be wrong.
