How can I set ccshared=-fPIC while executing ./configure?

Question

I am trying to build Python 2.6 for QGIS on RHEL 5. During the making of QGIS I get the following error:

Linking CXX shared library libqgispython.so
/usr/bin/ld:         


        

Answer 1

I got it working by adding -fPIC after CC= gcc -pthread, i.e CC= gcc -pthread -fPIC in the Makefile.
