Should I add -fPIC somewhere in the makefile? or in LIBS variable for make?
-fPIC should be specified at compile time, not at link time (i think) isn't the "-fPIC" flag specified in the Makefile (the "sub-makefiles", not the master-makefile in src/Gnu, which does only the linking)
I think your right. The sub-make files have -fPIC included for compilation. Im getting the same thing with zexy: [pdman@musicbox src]$ ld -export_dynamic -shared -o zexy.pd_linux *.o -lc -lm ld: z_average.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC z_average.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
...and there all files ARE compiled with -fPIC as well. Is this a compiler problem? If so, why have I not encountered it when building other packages?
Thanks again for the help! -thewade
