Hi, After updating to the latest snapshot I can no longer compile kdelibs on my AMD64 computer. On my x86 it works fine. I have been able to build previous snapshots on both machines. Linking CXX shared library ../lib/libkdecore.so /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in object. /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/kdecore.dir/kglobal.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `KGlobal::_locale' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [lib/libkdecore.so.5.0.0] Error 1 make[1]: *** [kdecore/CMakeFiles/kdecore.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 The "recompile with -fPIC" seems bogus to me since that's the default. gcc is gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (Gentoo 3.4.5, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9) kernel is 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter
