Even on packages that use libtool (the libtool manual says libtool is supposed to automatically add -fPIC to shared libs) I get this error such as on libkexiv2-0.1.7-1.fc10.src.rpm For what it's worth I was using -std=gnu99 and had some extra spaces in my /etc/rpmrc. After removing those and now the following packages which did have the error now compile akode-2.0.2-5.fc9.src.rpm libkexiv2-0.1.7-1.fc10.src.rpm libkipi-0.1.6-1.fc10.src.rpm libkdcraw-0.1.4-1.fc10.src.rpm arts-1.5.9-3.fc10.src.rpm kbibtex-0.2.1-19.fc9.src.rpm User error somewhere? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/relocation-x86_64-errors-and-gcc-4.3-tp17562637p17566816.html Sent from the Fedora Test List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
