Thread: compiling plpython compilation error
Hi all. Im having a hard time trying to compile the plpython package. This is the error make gives me: gherzig@vdb:/usr/local/src/postgresql-8.2.5/src/pl/plpython> make gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -fpic -shared -Wl,-soname,libplpython.so.0 plpython.o -L/usr/lib/python2.5/config -L../../../src/port -lpython2.5 -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -Wl,-rpath,'/usr/lib/python2.5/config' -o libplpython.so.0.0 /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.2.1/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: /usr/lib/python2.5/config/libpython2.5.a(abstract.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/python2.5/config/libpython2.5.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [libplpython.so.0.0] Error 1 This runs on OpenSuse 10.3. python 2.5 postgres 8.2.5 ( and 8.3.0) Any clues? Thanks! Gerardo

Note that it's not real clear whether this needs to be done for plpython, or libpython, or perhaps both; so you might well be in for making a custom libpython installation. regards, tom lane
