My understanding was that at least on some platforms once you need -fPIC for some libraries you need to make sure they were all compiled with it. That means it's a pain if any libraries are provided compiled with -fpic because whenever find one that reaches that threshold they all have to be recompiled. At least Debian decided long ago to just make everything -fPIC to avoid having problems later. I don't know what the convention is on other OS's though. -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
