When I try to install the perl module for gdlib, I am getting following error: /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libz.a(compress.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/local/lib/libz.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libgd.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/gd-2.0.35' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/gd-2.0.35' make: *** [all] Error 2 is there any solution? I am using CentOs 5.2.x x64
