I was trying to run the above program in linux ubuntu. It is giving following errors
parallelcomp.cpp:(.text+0x1ec): undefined reference to `pthread_create'
parallelcomp.cpp:(.text+0x207): undefined reference to `pthread_create'
parallelcomp.cpp:(.text+0x222): undefined reference to `pthread_join'
parallelcomp.cpp:(.text+0x233): undefined reference to `pthread_join'
parallelcomp.cpp:(.text+0x262): undefined reference to `pthread_create'
parallelcomp.cpp:(.text+0x273): undefined reference to `pthread_join'
The error is mostprobably due to linking binary with pthreads.
Is there any command in ubuntu terminal whcih can solve this problem.?
I have tried with several commands given in this community forum, non of them is helpful.
Is there anyone who would like to help me?
I am also very new to Linux ubuntu.
Any kind of suggestion is appreciable.
How to include libpthread ?
When I am putting the following command, gcc -pthread -o term term.c, in terminalwe i get the following error: Command line option 'p' [from -pthread] is not known.

Answer 1

Please try the following -lpthread. Which version of gcc are you using?
Why do I get "undefined reference" errors even when I include the right header files?

Answer 2

While compiling add link to pthread library -lpthread
