I downloaded the source code for libconfuse from http://www.nongnu.org/confuse/, which had a download link to http://bzero.se/confuse/confuse-2.6.tar.gz.
The configure options I used to compile libconfuse that finally worked were: "./configure CFLAGS=-fPIC --disable-nls". Without doing this, ganglia would give me the error: "libconfuse.a(confuse.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC" James >>> Brad Nicholes 05/20/08 3:17 PM >>> What configure options did you use? It looks like you are trying to create a shared library using a static version of libconfuse. Where did you get the version of libconfuse that you are using?
