Edit the Makefile and replace all occurrences of "-fpic" with "-fPIC", do "make clean", and then try doing "make" again. I'll fix the configure script by adding OpenBSD to the list of platforms where 64-bit SPARC requires -fPIC. _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
