failed build

[Sergei Chekanov]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile Delphes 3.13 on ScientificLinux 6.3 (64 bit) using the ProMC plugin. My environment is set correctly:

export PROMC=/share/sl6//promc
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PROMC/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$PROMC/bin:$PATH

Then I compile Delphes, (configure; make), it compiles correctly, but it cannot link the object zipios file:

>> Compiling external/ProMC/ProMCHeader.pb.cc
>> Compiling external/ProMC/ProMCBook.cc
>> Compiling external/ProMC/ProMCStat.pb.cc
>> Compiling external/ProMC/ProMCDescription.pb.cc
>> Compiling external/ProMC/ProMC.pb.cc
>> Building libDelphes.so
/usr/bin/ld: /share/sl6//promc/lib/libcbook.a(fcollexceptions.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `vtable for zipios::IOException' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/share/sl6//promc/lib/libcbook.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libDelphes.so] Error 1

I think Delphes 3.10 was fine before when used on SL5.
Can you please look at this?

best

Hi Sergei,

Sorry for the late reply.

At the moment, the only solution that I see is to rebuild libcbook.a as suggested by the error message: "recompile with -fPIC".

Cheers,

Pavel
