Good morning 
   
                         I work in Linux support. The team work on developing 
apps for a 4GL database called 'progress', lately we noticed some free products 
have been released under GPL. The product we aimed at installing is called 
prorex-1.3. it is essentially a parzer. 
   
  I have tried installing this product on 3 versions of linux to no avail, 
failure message on suse, fedora and RHEL tend to include the following note
   
  ./config.status
creating Makefile
creating prorex.i
creating customer.p
creating prorex.h
prorex.h is unchanged

  if I just run make I get the following
   
  make
gcc -g -Wall -D__USE_FIXED_PROTOTYPES__ -ansi -pedantic  -fPIC -shared  -lc -o 
libprorex.so prorex.o
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: 
prorex.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when 
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
prorex.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libprorex.so] Error 1

   
   
  This is the error
  :/tmp/prorex-1.3 # make -f Makefile
gcc -g -Wall -D__USE_FIXED_PROTOTYPES__ -ansi -pedantic  -fPIC -shared  -lc -o 
libprorex.so prorex.o
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: 
prorex.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when 
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
prorex.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libprorex.so] Error 1

   
   
  Can you please help !
