[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]

You want to build jasper with CFLAGS="-fPIC -m64", as you've done.  But
you just want CXXFLAGS="-m64", without "-fPIC", for the gdal build.  Be
sure to unset CFLAGS, or open a new terminal to get a fresh environment,
before gdal build.  Also, might need to run ldconfig after building
jasper, before gdal build.

  # cd jasper src dir
  export CFLAGS="-fPIC -m64"
  ./configure
  make; make install
  unset CFLAGS
  /sbin/ldconfig

  # cd gdal src dir
  export CXXFLAGS="-m64"
  ./configure ...
  make ...
