code tags for code please. [ code ] stuff [ /code ] without the extra spaces in the tags. It preserves spaces and makes code readable. I'm not sure the code is compilable in its current state with things like the return value for main missing.

I think you need to put pthread_exit() at the bottom of the thread. This is also where the thread's return value is passed.

Also, you did not specify the threads as joinable, hence join should not be used on them. To make them joinable:

Code:
int main()
{
        pthread_attr_t attr;
        pthread_t thread1, thread2;
        char *message1 = "Thread 1";
        char *message2 = "Thread 2";
        int iret1, iret2;

        /* Set up attributes for the threads */
        pthread_attr_init(&attr);
        pthread_attr_setdetachstate(&attr, PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE);

        /* Create independent threads each of which will execute function */

        iret1 = pthread_create( &thread1, &attr, print_message_function, (void*) message1);
        iret2 = pthread_create( &thread2, &attr, print_message_function, (void*) message2);

        /* Wait till threads are complete before main continues. Unless we */
        /* wait we run the risk of executing an exit which will terminate */
        /* the process and all threads before the threads have completed. */

        pthread_join( thread1, NULL);
        pthread_join( thread2, NULL);

        printf("Thread 1 returns: %d\n",iret1);
        printf("Thread 2 returns: %d\n",iret2);
        exit(0);
}

PAPS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PAPS(1)

NAME

       paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango

SYNOPSIS

       paps [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves
       through the pango ft2 backend.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       --landscape
	      Landscape output. Default is portrait.

       --columns=cl
	      Number of columns output. Default is 1.

       --font=desc
	      Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12.

       --rtl  Do rtl layout.

       --paper ps
	      Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4.

       --bottom-margin=bm
	      Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36.

       --top-margin=tm
	      Set top margin. Default is 36.

       --left-margin=lm
	      Set left margin. Default is 36.

       --right-margin=rm
	      Set right margin. Default is 36.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --header
	      Draw page header for each page.

       --markup
	      Interpret the text as pango markup.

       --encoding=ENCODING
	      Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING.

       --lpi  Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing.

       --cpi  Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size.

       --stretch-chars
	      Indicates  that  characters  should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops
	      behaviour.
