[cl-gd-devel] problem compiling cl-gd-glue.c on 64-bit sytem

[Jeff Cunningham]

Has anyone had a problem compiling the cl-gd-glue.c into the shared 
library on a 64-bit system? It's never given me any problem on 32-bit 
systems, and I could swear I've done it on a 64-bit AMD Debian system 
before, but I just tried it on a new one and got this error:

make
gcc -I/usr/local/include -fPIC -c cl-gd-glue.c
ld -shared -lgd -lz -lpng -ljpeg -lfreetype -liconv -lm -lc cl-gd-glue.o 
-o cl-gd-glue.so -L/usr/local/lib
ld: /usr/local/lib/libz.a(compress.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a 
local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile 
with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libz.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
make: *** [cl-gd-glue.so] Error 1

I'm trying to install cl-gd-0.5.6 straight from Edi's site. gd-2.0.35 is 
installed, along with the other dependencies. This is puzzling.
