I solved a suspiciously similar problem yesterday trying to build net-snmp-5.5 against perl-5.12.2. Both were built from source on a 64bit CentOS VM using physical Opteron 8300's. The net-snmp-5.5 compile was breaking during 'make' complaining of -fPIC issues, too. <div>
<br></div><div>I rebuilt net-snmp-5.5 a dozen times with different strategies - all failed. I finally resolved the compile problem by rebuilding Perl with an explicit -fPIC. This might get you running:<div><br></div><div>
CFLAGS='-m64 -mtune=nocona' ./Configure -des -A ccflags=-fPIC && make && make test && make install</div><div><br></div><div>Given your reference to X86_64_32, you might not want the -m64 flag. Anyway, adjust or delete CFLAGS depending on your CPU's and architecture.</div>

I am migrating my BB with LARRD/RRDTOOL 1.0.49 from 32-bit Red hat Linux 3 to<br>
a virtual Red Hat 5.4 64-bit.<br>
<br>
BB is installed and works bit I get the following problem when I try to<br>
compile/link the RRDTOOL.<br>
<br>
I run:<br>
<br>
1. sh configure --enable-shared -> OK<br>
2. make -> I get the message below even after changing in the Makefile the<br>
CCFLAGS .. -fPIC and CXXFLAGS= ..-fPIC (see in red)<br>
<br>
The essential line below is : relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local<br>
symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC<br>
Changes made to Makefile:<br>
<br>
CFLAGS = -g -O2 -fPIC -Wall -pedantic -Ws ….<br>
CXXFLAGS = -g -O2 -fPIC<br>
<br>
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem ?<br>
