[rrd-users] Relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object

[Joshua Keroes]

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.

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:

CFLAGS='-m64 -mtune=nocona' ./Configure -des -A ccflags=-fPIC && make &&
make test && make install

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.

After Perl was built, the net-snmp-5.5 compile ran smoothly without any
fancy args.

Good luck,
Joshua
