Package: gem Version: 1:0.90.0-13 Severity: serious Hi,
You added a build dependency on libavcodec-dev, which does not provide a shared library. You are linking against the static non-PIC version of the library and this is causing build failures on a few arches: g++ -o Gem.pd_linux -shared ../Manips/*.o ../Particles/*.o ../Base/*.o ../MarkE x/*.o ../Pixes/*.o ../Controls/*.o ../Nongeos/*.o ../Geos/*.o ../openGL/*.o -l ftgl -ldv -lmpeg3 -lquicktime -lavcodec -lavformat -lpng -ljpeg -ltiff -lGLU -l GL -ldl -lz -lm -lfreetype -lz /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/hppa-linux/3.3.6/../../../libavcodec.a(utils.o): relocation R_PARISC_DPREL21L can not be used when making a shared object; recom pile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc-lib/hppa-linux/3.3.6/../../../libavcodec.a: could not read symbols : Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Shared libs should always be made using PIC code. The libavcodec-dev packages does not provide a shared library, but it does provide a pic version of the static library: libavcodec_pic You have 2 options: - link against libavcodec_pic instead. - Ask the ffmpeg maintainer to provide a shared version of libavcodec. There is no good reason not to have a shared version of it. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
