José,

I could not find anything easily with respect to documentation on that 
requirement, unless it is implicit in the libs requirements.

I do note that it is available in FC5's Extras. Should I presume that 
this indicates that it does build and function properly on FC5? If so, 
it would suggest that the LinuxThreads requirement is not in place.

Let me know on that if you could.

I am happy to. If you can clarify the above issue, I will post the note 
for R Core.

Best regards,
