Two wild guesses; NOTE: If you post a full rebuild log and information about your Compiler then you might get something that is not a wild guess.

1. Your Compiler does NOT have that library.
2. Code::Blocks tool-chain settings are NOT correct for your Compiler.

Wow!
Got it!

Went into MinGW installer and just selected PT-Threads to install.

Works fine now

Cant believe more people dont have this problem

I followed the install instructions to the letter - same problem on netbeans.
