Hey guys I am working on compiling a LAMP server and I got a specific order i am doing it in

1. MySQL
2. LibJPEG
3. LibPNG
4. FreeType
5. Zlib
6. GD2
7. Apache
8. PHP

So it all works good untill i try and make gd 2 ik configure it with ./configure --with-png --with-jpeg=/usr/local/lib --with-freetype

And it works but when i make it

/usr/local/lib/libz.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libgd.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/lampServerFiles/gd-2.0.35'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lampServerFiles/gd-2.0.35'
make: *** [all] Error 2

THats the error i get. Any ideas?? Thanks


John

The cause of the error is porobably a bit earlier in the make output. What distro you are using would help too.

I am using Fedora9 and i didnt get any errors in any previous uses I think i did SOMETHING wrong with zlib but i am not sure. I am new to this so yeah

Somehow I doubt that "/usr/local/lib/libz.a: could not read symbols: Bad value" is the first line of make's output.

Why aren't you using yum to install this stuff?

Is the whole thing I cant use yum because its part of a project for school

we have to compile it all ourselves

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libz.a(compress.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

how can i do that??? I am fairly new with linux

You'll need to read the install/readmes etc with the zlib source
