Bug 315385 – sci-libs/blas-atlas-3.8.0 - relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Preben Holm 2010-04-15 04:56:47 UTC]

It seems that blas-atlas is missing -fPIC on compilation time which means that the .so file linking fails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge blas-atlas
2. wait
3. fails

Actual Results:  
ld link error with error message:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: .libs/caxpy.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC 

Expected Results:  
It should have linked.
