 Compile your applications that use Linux Threads with the following
 command line options:
 
-	-D_THREAD_SAFE -DLINUXTHREADS -lpthread
-or (equivalently):
-	-D_THREAD_SAFE -DLINUXTHREADS -kthread
+	-D_THREAD_SAFE -I/usr/local/include/pthread/linuxthreads -llthread
+
+Note that the include (-I..) directive shown here should appear before any other include
+directive that would cause the compiler to find the FreeBSD file /usr/include/pthread.h.
+Using the FreeBSD pthread.h instead of the linuxthreads pthread.h will result in an app 
+fails in many odd and maybe spectacular ways.
+
+In order to facilitate porting applications witch expect a libpthread, you can create
+the following symlinks if you want:
+
+	ln -s /usr/local/lib/liblthread.a /usr/lib/libpthread.a
+	ln -s /usr/local/lib/liblthread_p.a /usr/lib/libpthread_p.a
+	ln -s /usr/local/lib/liblthread.so.0 /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0
+	ln -s /usr/local/lib/liblthread.so.0 /usr/lib/libpthread.so
+	/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/lib
+
+If you do this, you can instead use:
+
+	-D_THREAD_SAFE -I/usr/local/include/pthread/linuxthreads -lpthread
+or      
+	-D_THREAD_SAFE -I/usr/local/include/pthread/linuxthreads -kthread
 
 DO NOT use libc_r with Linux Threads, and do not compile/link with
 the -pthread option (which pulls in libc_r).  DO link with libc
