[Discuss-gnuradio] Building on Fedora Core 3 x86_64?

[Graham Stead]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this and am just learning my way around.

I tried building gnuradio-core 2.4 on 64-bit Fedora Core 3. When linking
with libfftw3f (which I also downloaded, compiled and installed), I received
the following error:

---

/usr/local/lib/libfftw3f.a(tensor.o): could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [libgnuradio-core.la] Error 1
---

The -fPIC suggestion seems odd; the option seems related to some older cpu
architectures. Nevertheless, I tried to recompile libfftw3f and
gnuradio-core with -fPIC, but received the same link error.

Has anyone else done a gnuradio-core-2.4 64-bit compile on FC3? Or perhaps
on FC2?

Thanks,
-Graham
