If you could, I'd like to investigate this. Ideally if the flags for the position independant code (-fPIC with GCC) and making shared libraries (-shared on GCC) could be supplied as arguments in some way, then a test for the compiler will allow these to be set for any compiler - GNU, Sun, IBM, HP etc. Dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
