I am sure I am providing insufficient information, please ask for more. I installed R 2.14.2 on my Ubuntu laptop with and AMD64 processor and also installed RStudio and everything worked fine.
Now, I tried to build R 2.15.1 from source and installed it using defaults. RStudio now complained that R was not built as a shared library. Went back and uninstalled, and configured with -enable-R-shlib Now make fails at: /usr/bin/ld: CConverters.o: relocation R_X86_64_325 against '.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC Being new to Linux, I have no idea how to recompile with -fPIC Any help would be appreciated.
