[vtkusers] Build problem on x86_64 (AMD Opteron) machine.

[Jan Kolar]

Tom,

thanks for your advice, i've got further but still just to another error. 
It is again regarding relocation R_X86_64_32. To be honest, i do not 
exactly understand what does the -fPIC specify.

Building shared library 
/home/kolda/Installations/VTK/bin/libvtkRenderingJava.so...
/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.1/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: 
/usr/lib64/libMesaGL.a(glapi.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used 
when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib64/libMesaGL.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [/home/kolda/Installations/VTK/bin/libvtkRenderingJava.so] 
Error 1
make[2]: *** [default_target] Error 2
make[1]: *** [default_target_Rendering] Error 2
make: *** [default_target] Error 2

I have -fPIC for all CFLAGS now. I think I am really close to the end 
since the other shared libraries has been build succesfully---this list of 
the bin directory after the error:

kolda at atlas:~/Installations/VTK> ls bin/
libvtkCommon.a          libvtkfreetype.a       libvtkIO.a         
libvtkzlib.a
libvtkCommonJava.so     libvtkftgl.a           libvtkIOJava.so    
mkg3states
libvtkDICOMParser.a     libvtkGraphics.a       libvtkjpeg.a       
vtkParseJava
libvtkexpat.a           libvtkGraphicsJava.so  libvtkpng.a        
vtkWrapJava
libvtkFiltering.a       libvtkImaging.a        libvtkRendering.a
libvtkFilteringJava.so  libvtkImagingJava.so   libvtktiff.a

any other ideas? --jan
