Building perl with -fPIC

[shankarhegde]

Hi, Im trying to build perl and mod_perl on x86_64-linux machine and getting the following error, while compiling mod_perl

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/genie/common-1.18/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/x86_64-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a(DynaLoader.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/genie/common-1.18/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/x86_64-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

Im very new to perl and dont know how to build perl with -fPIC.

Can anybody please help. Thanks in advance.

I have never used mod_perl. Therefore, I am not able to offer much assistance. I would have a look at the mod_perl website online. If that does not work and other assistance is not offered here, then I would suggest posting your question on perlmonks.org
