[Dovecot] Compiling drac.c on a 64 bit system

5 Oct 2007

      I have just installed dovecot and want to set up the drac interface. However,
when I compile drac.c I get the following link errors; anybody know what the
right compile options are for a 64 bit system? I have a Gentoo Linux system
using the amd64 architecture.
gcc -Wall -W -shared -fPIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I$dovecot -I$dovecot/src/lib

drac.c -o drac.so -ldrac
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libdrac.a(dracauth.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32S against `a local symbol' can not be used when making
a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libdrac.a: could not
read symbols: Bad value

TIA
