Shared libraries should be build using -fPIC. It doesn't work without it on some arches. Static libraries on the other had should not be build using it. See policy section 10.2. > E: codeblocks: sharedobject-in-library-directory-not-actually-a-shlib > usr/lib/libcodeblocks.so Here the problem is probably that it doesn't have an soname. The libcodeblocks.so should be a symlink to the real library. And the library itself should get version number added to it. I suggest you read section 8 of the policy about shared libraries.
