Subject: Compiling on 64 bit linux
Unless the CCFLAG has -fPIC added for 'libcluster', the module fails to compile on 64 bit linux (CentOS 4). I added "CCFLAG => '-fPIC'" of 'src/Makefile.PL', and things compiled fine. -albert

Which version of Perl are you using? Essentially, this is a bug in Perl -- it should figure out the correct compile flags when running "perl Makefile.PL". I am hesitant to add the -fPIC flag to Makefile.PL, because this flag is likely to be incorrect for other platforms.

Can you try the latest version of Perl (5.8.8)? If the problem still exists there, you might want to submit a bug report to the Perl maintainers. In the mean time, I can add your solution of adding "-fPIC" to the FAQ. On Tue Feb 14 10:44:47 2006, smithav@cshl.edu wrote: Show quoted text

From: Albert Vernon Smith <smithav [...] cshl.edu>
Using the default settings from configure, 5.8.8 does not compile on my system. I tried a couple of quick things to work around the issue, which didn't get perl to compile. I don't have the time or need to dig deeper. I solved the issue from my perspective, and it should remain a FAQ, as you suggest. -albert On 14.2.2006, at 10:56, Guest via RT wrote: Show quoted text
