I have a project that involves building a shared library containing code generated by GHC and exposed using the foreign function interface to other C programs that link against it. I'm able to build a functioning library without issue on 32bit x86 systems using GHC 6.8.2 and 6.12.3. When I try to build on a 64bit x86 system I get a relocation error that advises I include -fPIC. Including -fPIC does not help though. I'm wondering if I'm either doing something wrong or if this could be a problem with GHC.
I found your problem described at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=643081 and http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=3 Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- http://Van.Tuyl.eu/ http://members.chello.nl/hjgtuyl/tourdemonad.html --
