[rrd-users] Problems with building on Suse Linux 9.0

[Dan Willis]

Ok,  using the variables below I was able to get the configure to run, but
now I am into another problem when running the make command.  Here is the
build error I get:

(cd .libs && rm -f librrdupd.la && ln -s ../librrdupd.la librrdupd.la)

Any idea what this error is?  It seems to be related to libpng and it is
saying to recompile it with -fPIC tags???
