Hi Sean, Thanks for the info. To be honest, I'm a bit fuzzy on the -fPIC v.s. -fPIE flag usage.
Can you send me a copy of (offline) your Makfile and config.log after running ./autogen.sh. They should be in the source directory. From that, we can add a condition to configure.ac allowing for a change in flags based on the OS / ARCH. Just for the Record, Mate is a bit tricky with respect to it's Audio chain for WSPR/WSJT. This is due to the portaudio-dev package dependencies and Mate's usage of Jack2. There is also a Python Numpy situation that can cause problems if one is not careful. FWIW, Ubuntu Unity 15.10 ( I've not tested Kubuntu), WSPR has been running for a couple of hours here with no issues. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 11/04/2015 04:37 PM, Sean Sharkey wrote: > Hi Greg, > > > I did a little searching this afternoon to see if I could garner any > information regarding the "R_PPC_REL24 relocation at”, error I was seeing, > it appears to be reasonably common. > > From what I understand this particular error is in someway related to non PIC > code being used with PIC code in shared or linked libraries > and "The relocation is 24-bit; in other words, the absolute value for the > distance from any call to the item called must be less than 2^23 > (one bit is the sign).
