Thanks Graham, I suspect no one knew the full impact of this change. I think it will fix my build problem also. Does anyone have a system that builds without -fPIC on a 64 bit platform (either amd64 or Intel?) I think that is the only case that may break with the change. I don't see any results for this case, although there are some comments that fPIC should not be needed in all cases. -- Kevin _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
