But you're linking against the static library, libmysqlclient.a. -fPIC is only used to build shared libraries.So a mysql compile problem?> Has anybody else encountered this problem?

But is says in the mysql release notes that it is... darn... so at this stage I'm looking for a version of mysql compiled with -fPIC (shared library support)?
How about one that actually _comes_ with Fedora, instead of one downloaded from some mysterious web site somewhere?
There's a perfectly working, valid set of MySQL RPMs that comes with Fedora, so why exactly are you looking for something, somewhere else, which you already have?
