I'm trying to compile 3.4.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I get the following errors: /usr/bin/ld: /z/src/squid-3.4.0.1/compat/libcompat-squid.a(eui64_aton.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /z/src/squid-3.4.0.1/compat/libcompat-squid.a: could not read symbols: Bad value ./configure shows the following lines: ... checking for gcc option to produce PIC... -fPIC -DPIC checking if gcc PIC flag -fPIC -DPIC works... yes .... checking for g++ option to produce PIC... -fPIC -DPIC checking if g++ PIC flag -fPIC -DPIC works... yes And yes, most of the files are compiled with -fPIC option, but not the compat/ directory: ===[cut]=== Making all in compat make[1]: Entering directory `/z/src/squid-3.4.0.1/compat' g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
