[gdal-dev] Error in libjasper.a during 'make' in gdal 1.5.2: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used

[Patton, Eric]

I've recently compiled and installed proj 4.6.1, geos 3.0.0, and jasper 1.900.1 without any errors.

gdal configure progresses cleanly:

./configure \
--with-libz=internal \
--enable-largefile \
--with-pcraster=internal \
--with-png=internal \
--with-libtiff=internal \
--with-geotiff=internal \
--with-jpeg=internal \
--with-gif=internal \
--with-sqlite3=yes \
--with-jasper=/usr/local/

GDAL is now configured for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

However, make fails with the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libjasper.a(jas_malloc.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libjasper.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libgdal.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/gdal-1.5.2'
make: *** [check-lib] Error 2

Any ideas on what this error means? If I were to recompile with '-fPIC', what would be the correct command invocation for this? 


Thanks,
