HI, I need to link in Boost into my shared library application. This works fine for 32bit, but is not working for 64bit. It appears that Boost is not getting built properly with –fPIC on 64bit and leads to following errors:

/usr/bin/ld: vpi2.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with –fPIC

‘vpi2.o’ has the boost .a files included within it using ‘ld –r’

Can someone help identify if this is a boost problem or gcc problem?

I am using Boost 1.34.1, gcc 3.2.3 on RHEL4. Please let me know if any other detail is needed.

Any help is highly appreciated.

thanks

Puneet
