relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object;

[georgi angelov]

So I get the following errors when I try and make Caffee:

...

LD -o .build_release/lib/libcaffe.so

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libgflags.a(gflags.cc.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

/usr/local/lib/libgflags.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so] Error 1

Has anyone seen this error, and if so, how did you fix it?

Thanks!

Hello, Everyone  I am a fresh man. I met the same problem.  I also see the https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/issues/2171 . Instead of using "CMake", I compile the caffe by modify the "Makefile.config"  file, then do 'make all'  command . Because I think it is  much convinient  for me to build the the python wrapper and to use MKL by modifying the" Makefile.config '' file.

I have been install caffe successufully without python wrapper by "cmake "method .I guess the dependcies have been installed rightly.

any comment will help , Thank you so much.

Is there a solution for using modify "Makefile.config" file instead of "Cmake" method ? Thank you guys :)

I also found that in the  352th line in  $(CAFFE_ROOT)/Makefile ,   It says "CXXFLAGS += -pthread -fPIC $(COMMON_FLAGS) $(WARNINGS)" ,  I think it contains the "-fPIC" option. It confuses me. Is there anyone kown about that , thank you.

Hi,

I am new to this, while compiling httpd 2.4.17, when  I invoked Make command and got the similar error:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.6/../../../libssl.a(s3_srvr.o)
: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared
object; recompile with -fPIC

: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [mod_ssl.la] Error 1

But no where I could find out the file CMakeCache.txt instead I got CMakeList.txt

Can any one help me ...?

Regards,

Amitav

I am facing similar problem with libgflags:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libgflags.a(gflags.cc.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

/usr/local/lib/libgflags.a: error adding symbols: Bad value

Did anyone find the problem?

Can you help?
