It builds fine here; any idea why that could be the case? Probably x86 vs. x86_64 issue. You might try using qemubuilder (or just qemu) to compile on other architectures. IIRC, x86_64 requires all shared code to be compiled as PIC (Position Independent Code) -- I'm not entirely sure why x86 doesn't. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
