Hi, I have installed mpich from Debian/testing. The code I am running fails to load because of the R_PPC_REL24 relocation error which I suspect is due to mpich not being compiled with -fPIC. I am downloading the source now (over a slow modem) so can't confirm my suspicions. I built mpich on a YDL box myself and had to enable -fPIC in the build (along with enabling -fPIC in my application building process). If in fact I see that mpich was not built with -fPIC, is this considered a bug on the powerpc platforms, and if so, who do I report it to?
I am just entering the world of Debian having lived in the rpm world and do appreciate the consistency of packages across my m68K, x86, powerpc boxes all running Debian. I am doing apt-get source mpich. Is there an easier way to see the configuration line used to build a package other than downloading the whole thing?
