Description charly 2005-12-22 11:02:31 UTC

Hi

I tried to prelink my binaries but there is a lot of "Cannot prelink against non-PIC shared library" errors. see attachement.
I followed the gentoo prelink guide. It say "The cause of this problem is from badly compiled shared libraries that were compiled without the -fPIC gcc option for all their object files.". But it say that i must not add this flag in make.conf.
So, is this situation normal or should i be able to fix it?

Thanks

Charly

Such summary bug cannot be assigned, marking INVALID... 

This issue definitely cannot by fixed by us for binary packages like openoffice-bin or mozilla-firefox-bin; otherwise please file separate bugs for each ebuild involved. Thanks.
