4 Aug 2007


      Hi friends,
               While installing openldap in Red Hat Linux , I am
getting this error in Make step.. can anyone help me in this issue..
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.a(s3_pkt.o): relocation
R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
I have configured openssl like this
                       *. ./config -fPIC
                       *.make depend
                       *.make install
                       *.make test
thanks in advance.
with cheers,
sri.
