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.
