I'm getting some build errors on my 64b machine, when linking a static library into a shared one such as :

Code:
/usr/bin/ld: ...........: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.8' 
can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
I have no idea how to fix this issue. I'm running Fedora 16 and Python 2.7.2. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
