Subject: [CentOS] Compiling thunderbird


I'm following this thread here

  http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=23749&forum=38

to build an rpm for thunderbird 3.1.6/3.1.7 from source. While it works
well on i386, compilation fails for x86_64. Any advice how to fix the spec
file?

This doesn't look good.

rm -f libthebes.so

/usr/bin/ld: gfxUserFontSet.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32
against `ots::Process(ots::OTSStream*, unsigned char
const*, unsigned long, bool)' can not be used when
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld
returned 1 exit status

HTH
