relocation R_X86_64_PC32 ...

I'm trying to get courier-authlib for courier-imap installed ..... what a PAIN INTHE ASS!

now that i recompiled vpopmail with CFLAGS=-fPIC ..... i get the following error ...


Compiling authvchkpw.c

can ANYBODY help me here?! please?

I have no specific experience with the courier-imap package per se, but I have run up against the ld error about R_X86_64_PC32 in an entirely different context.

No, I didn't solve the problem. But my guess is that you're trying to link together some 64 bit libraries with 32 bit libraries.

I would attempt to build courier-authlib and everything it depends upon using CC="gcc -m64 -fPIC" to try to coerce the build to link properly.

I promise no guarantees or expertise, just which straw I would grasp under similar circumstances.

Good luck.
