#1 Problem building under AMD64 (Ubuntu)

[Anonymous]

When I try to make-it-so, I get:

./make-it-so
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.0.3/crtbeginT.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `__deregister_frame_info' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.0.3/crtbeginT.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Not being a make guru I have no idea what to do. I suspect it's a 64/32 bit thing; most of the problems I get are. Sigh. Why didn't I get a simple machine?
