how to recompile with -fPIC?

[phsieh2005]

HI,

I was trying to compile a program and got an error like:
#########: relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

How to recompile with -fPIC? I normally use: ./configure, then, make, then, make install.

Thanks!

Hi,
I found this link, it is for a gentoo dist. but maybe it will help.

Hi, wowbag1,

Thanks for the link.

The package I am compiling requires two libraries: openMPI and hypre.
When I did export CFLAGS=-fPIC, I was able to compile my package successfully with only openMPI. With both openMPI and hypre, I got the same error as before.

I am still struggling what to do based on the link you gave.

I maybe starting to see the problem, have a look at these links to see if they help.
