Problem

A customer of Artwork's reported that on his Linux CentOS workstation he could not run our Netexg software because his workstation was missing libgthread libraries.

hanamalia:tester: $ ./multilyr_test.sh 
/home/cad/netexg/artwork/netexgmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libgthread-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Workaround

The customer had to download from the web and install the libgthread libraries which are part of the glib2-devel libraries.
