Simon,

You posted once this solution to a specific case (building ssh).
In my case I'm trying to compile a program that is a mixture of
c++, c, and fortran and getting the following lines:


g++ -o freeloop      -L/usr/X11R6/lib main.o calc.o ....screen.o -lXext -lX11  /usr/local/lib/liblapack_NetBSD.a /usr/local/lib/libblas_NetBSD.a  -lc  /usr/local/lib/libquadpack.a /usr/pkg/lib/libf2c.a -lm    -lgnumalloc  -Wl,-rpath,/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/bin/ld: dqagi.o: linking PIC files with non-PIC files
Bad value: failed to merge target specific data of file /usr/local/lib/libquadpack.a(dqagi.o)
 .......etc.....

How do I avoid the problem? Many thanks in advance.

Dan
