Which version of NGPT are you using? (The development 1.9 tree, or the
stable 1.2 tree?)

I'm interested in trying mono with ngpt-1.9, because it implements
process-shared mutexes etc.  I'm surprised it doesnt implement
pthread_mutex_timedlock though.

mono_mutex_timedlock was written to work around the lack of
pthread_mutex_timedlock on solaris, so the missing function shouldnt matter
to you.

I think you'll need to fix mono's configure.in to check if you're using ngpt
before doing the pthread checks.  I think at the moment it's just looking in
your /usr/include/pthread.h, and seeing that you have pthread_mutex_timedlock.
