The new packages compiled fine, however sasl still failed with the same error. >Alternatively directly follow the error message advice and >insert -fPIC into the CFLAGS of the sasl.spec file. I think I managed to unpack, edit and repack the src.rpm correctly (I can see the -fPIC option being used when compiling the sasl source) however it still fails with the same error as before :( Looking closer... /kolab/bin/ld: /kolab/lib/libdb.a(db_err.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC ...is recompiling sasl with -fPIC actaully the correct course of action? Or is it libdb.a which needs to be recompiled with -fPIC instead? Or any other suggestions? And apologies for the HTML mail, was using my ISPs homebrew webmail. Finally found the 'plaintext' option!
