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

rebuilt the openssl with ./config --prefix=/software/bea/openssl/100c --openssldir=/software/bea/openssl/100c/ssl shared -fPIC

and then also it dint work. it gave /usr/bin/ld: links failed. The we modifed the linking part in make file previously it was gcc -Wall -shared -o pwutil.so asciihex.o base64.o bitutils.o dict.o gen_rand.o key_schedule.o md5c.o pdg2_ecb.o pwutils.o random_data.o hexutils.o des3crypt.o blowcrypt.o /software/bea/openssl/1.0.0c/lib/libcrypto.a

we changed libcrypto.a to libcrypto.so after rebuilding with shared option and - fPIC

gcc -Wall -shared -o pwutil.so asciihex.o base64.o bitutils.o dict.o gen_rand.o key_schedule.o md5c.o pdg2_ecb.o pwutils.o random_data.o hexutils.o des3crypt.o blowcrypt.o /software/bea/openssl/1.0.0c/lib/libcrypto.so

and it worked
