You can find a full build log exhibiting the problem here: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=3Dpcre-ocaml&ver=3D5.10.0-2&arch= =3Dhppa&stamp=3D1122772112&file=3Dlog&as=3Draw AFAICT the bug is in OCamlMakefile which fails to pass PIC_CFLAGS when inovking ocamlmklib. I thus suppose that adding "-ccopt -fPIC" in the "$(DLLSONAME)" rule would be enough. Still, since I don't know OCamlMakefile in detail I ask your advice on this. Full bug report of the debian user who reported the problem (Cc-ed) is available here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D320624 Thanks in advance. --=20 Stefano Zacchiroli -*- Computer Science PhD student @ Uny Bologna, Italy [EMAIL PROTECTED],debian.org,bononia.it} -%- http://www.bononia.it/zack/ If there's any real truth it's that the entire multidimensional infinity of the Universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs. -!- --r5Pyd7+fXNt84Ff3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC7Kf31cqbBPLEI7wRAt6yAJwI/DuNLNllf6+ODshv6chpquaKgwCgk2XO X27XbbTdlXpn6iplzr4Vuec= =YAZQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --r5Pyd7+fXNt84Ff3-- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
