Bug 149351

Hi,


I have package netcdf-3.6.0-4 installed on my x86_64 system.

I'm trying to build a test.so shared object with:

> gcc -fPIC -c test.c -o test.o
> gcc -shared -o test.so test.o /usr/lib64/libnetcdf.a
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.0.2/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libnetcdf.a(error.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib64/libnetcdf.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It looks like /usr/lib64/libnetcdf.a has not been compiled
with -fPIC option.

My test.c file contains:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <netcdf.h>
                                                                                                                                            
void test(const int *ncerr, const int *len, char *errortext[])
{
    strncpy(errortext[0], nc_strerror(*ncerr), *len);
}
