Hi, Policy 10.2 says that a static library should get build without -fPIC. Only shared libraries should get build with -fPIC.
Either iptables-dev needs to provide a shared library, or it should provide a pic version of the static library. >From http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt: (f) Libraries Shared libraries must be compiled with -fPIC, and normally static libraries must not be. If you need to provide static libraries compiled with -fPIC, call it "<libname>_pic.a". Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
