[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

[Steve Gaffigan]

Try rebuilding jasper as:
  export CFLAGS="-fPIC"
  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
  make; make install
  unset CFLAGS

Then rebuild gdal as usual.

On our 64-bit systems we also compile gdal and related libraries (geos,
jasper, etc.) with "-m64" in the compiler flags environment variable
(CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS for jasper and geos/gdal, respectively).  Not sure if
you'll need to do this.

Good luck.
