Apparently, the linker requires use of the "-fPIC" option ("PIC" stands for "position independent code") for linking a shared library. The problem might come from your system's Python installation (apparently, that one is used). Usually, you would have a "libpython*.so" (i.e. a shared object) and it would contain modules compiled with "-fPIC". In your case, the static library "libpython*.a" seems to be used and (apparently) contains not position idependent modules. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
