Oh Jesus, I had this one too. Cairo-1.11.2. The solution was to go ALLL the way back and recompile the BFD library of binutils with -fPIC. It worked after that little nugget of wisdom. I did a "hot" install, which means I did not recompile everything after putting the new library. These are the commands: *in binutils-build: export CFLAGS=-fPIC ../binutils/configure [options] make configure-bfd make all-bfd make install-bfd unset CFLAGS I think this has no effect on statically linking stuff with libbfd.a. -- Fourth law of programming: Anything that can go wrong wi sendmail: segmentation violation - core dumped -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
