I installed gnustep on a laptop running Yellow Dog Linux and
attempted to run GWorkspace, which I had compiled from source (latest
version). I continually got a "R_PPC_REL24 relocation...out of range"
error initially from the PDFKit. After searching the Web, I
discovered that the most common fix was to recompile the offending
library using the "-fPIC" (position independent code) option. After
running configure, I included this option in the Makefile and
Makefile.preamble for the PDFKit and recompiled the code (after doing
a "make clean"). I still got the error. I then removed the PDFKit (it
is optional) and recompiled GWorkspace, doing the same thing to its
makefiles. Still the same error! (different library this time - I
have forgotten which one)
I installed gnustep using the most recent script from gnustep.org and
everything seemed to install perfectly (after acquiring a proper
Objective C compiler - version 3.4 - and the libraries). I understand
that gnustep is always compiled with the "-fPIC" option (at least on
PPC hardware). Can someone suggest a work-around? I have run out of
ideas and am very anxious to install working gnustep apps.
Thanks very much.
