+\subsubsection faq_trouble_lib_config ./configure fails!
We now only one reason for the configure to fail:
that we can check it out. Make sure to read \ref faq_bugrepport
before you do so.
-\subsection faq_trouble_errors Understanding error messages
+\subsection faq_trouble_compil User code compilation problems
\subsubsection faq_trouble_err_logcat "gcc: _simgrid_this_log_category_does_not_exist__??? undeclared (first use in this function)"
for all the details, but you simply forgot to call one of
XBT_LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_CATEGORY() or XBT_LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_SUBCATEGORY().
+\subsubsection faq_trouble_pthreadstatic "gcc: undefinded reference to pthread_key_create"
+
+This indicates that one of the library SimGrid depends on (libpthread
+here) was missing on the linking command line. Dependencies of
+libsimgrid are expressed directly in the dynamic library, so it's
+quite impossible that you see this message when doing dynamic linking.
+
+If you compile your code statically (and if you use a pthread version
+of SimGrid -- see \ref faq_more_processes), you must absolutely
+specify <tt>-lpthread</tt> on the linker command line. As usual, this should
+come after <tt>-lsimgrid</tt> on this command line.

+\subsection faq_trouble_errors Runtime error messages

\subsubsection faq_flexml_limit "surf_parse_lex: Assertion `next limit' failed."
This is because your platform file is too big for the parser.
