Public bug reported: libsuitesparse-dev and related packages should be compiled with -fPIC option. Using libraries installed with package manager, produces following issue when compiling:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../x86_64-linux- gnu/libsuitesparseconfig.a(SuiteSparse_config.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `malloc@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC The same issue was filed for Debian (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684116) two years ago but wasn't triaged.
