Hey all - Has anyone run into a major compile stumbling block because of a poorly-compiled libx11.a? Even when building programs with then --enable-static flag in suse 10.1 64bit I get this error on almost everything. I've searched for weeks, but haven't been able to find a fix anywhere online, and I'm very reluctant to attempt to hand-complie Xorg. Here's the error: ve/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.0/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld : /usr/lib64/libX11.a(ChProp.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib64/libX11.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status --- ANY help at all would be much appreciated. Thanks! -Dan Sawyer ArtisticWhispers Productions

Another thought: why are you trying to link against libX11.a and not libX11.so? On Thu, 19 Oct 2006, Joe Morris (NTM) wrote:

In order to do that, I'd have to compile all of Xorg from source, and I have no idea how to even begin a job that complex. If I'm mistaken, though, please tell me! -Dan

The distribution ships with both a dynamic libX11.so. and a static libX11.a. You're linking your shared library against the wrong one which causes this error message (.a cannot be linked in when generating an shared library) -Andi

Okay. This is happening when invoking autoconfig through configure or scons - how can I get them to automatically go for the dynamically linked libX11.so? -Dan

See if it has a shared or --shared option you can pass to configure. Sometimes people setup their configure so they default to not doing shared libraries and you have to pass the option. -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff IT Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com Groundskeeper Willie: "oooh..

Ok, I'm trying to compile the gstreamer cvs and am running into the problem here, so it's a good specific instance. It defaults to shared libraries, and it also allows you to explicitly specify shared libraries. Alas, it is still failing on trying to link to libX11.a - here's the make output... echo "local: *; };" >> .libs/libgstximagesink.ver gcc -shared .libs/libgstximagesink_la-ximagesink.o .libs/libgstximagesink_la-ximage.o -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/thedude/downloads/gst-plugins-base/gst-libs/gst/interfaces/.libs -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/thedude/downloads/gst-plugins-base/gst-libs/gst/video/.libs ../../gst-libs/gst/interfaces/.libs/libgstinterfaces-0.10.so -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/gnome/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.0/../../../../lib64/ ../../gst-libs/gst/video/.libs/libgstvideo-0.10.so /usr/local/lib/libgstbase-0.10.so /usr/local/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so /opt/gnome/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so /opt/gnome/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so -ldl /opt/gnome/lib64/libgthread-2.0.so /usr/lib64/libxml2.so -lz -lm /opt/gnome/lib64/libglib-2.0.so -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -pthread -Wl,-soname -Wl,libgstximagesink.so -Wl,-version-script -Wl,.libs/libgstximagesink.ver -o .libs/libgstximagesink.so /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.0/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libX11.a(ChProp.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib64/libX11.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Help....? -Lokmer

Seems like it doesn't find libX11.so, so I guess that you haven't installed xorg-x11-devel.rpm (assuming 10.1-x86_64). Philipp

Why do you compile against the static libX11.a? What exactly are you doing? Is this a static program or do you create a shared library that should include the static libX11.a? Do you have a small example to reproduce? Otherwise please give the complete commandline that you use, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
