i received the following error message while trying to build subversion the other day:

/usr/bin/ld: /home/ldavid/src/subversion-1.4.6/neon/src/.libs/libneon.a(ne_request.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol’ can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/home/ldavid/src/subversion-1.4.6/neon/src/.libs/libneon.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/libsvn_ra_dav-1.la] Error 1

the solution i found:

first, add the following to your .profile:

export CFLAGS=-fPIC

second, call configure in the following manner:

>> configure  –enable-shared –disable-static –without-apxs

    Ahem, this is not a crash. Just a linker error.

Did I get this wrong? Let me know!
