During setup of catkin workspace i am getting this error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthreads while executing catkin_make

please help!!!

Determining if the function pthread_create exists in the pthreads failed with the following output:

Seems like you don't have pthreads on your system. That's very unusual, and shouldn't happen on a standard Ubuntu install. Which OS and version of ROS are you trying to build? If you're following an installation guide it would be useful to include a link to that guide too.

I am using Ubuntu 15.10 and trying to build ROS KINETIC. I am using the standard ROS build tutorials as installation guide : http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials .. From that step 1 of beginner level
