 |

For I haven't been able to update several packages including cups, mozilla, libxml2, etc due to the error below:
| Code: | /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.1/../../../libz.a(crc32.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.1/../../../libz.a: could not read symbols: Bad value |
I've searched in this forum, and I've googled. Recompiling with -fPIC does nothing.. BSD people say this too. This is all I know about the libz.a file:
root] lib # file libz.a
libz.a: current ar archive
[root] lib # ll libz.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 103086 Aug 28 11:39 libz.a
Does anyone know how I can solve this? And it seems to be only happening to me - anyone know why? My system became fubared after emerge told me to update my profile from 2004.1 to 2004.2, but that should've been trivial. |

| reinstall zlib. none of those apps should be using libz.a, they should use libz.so. this leads me to believe you dont have that file and hit the strange zlib bug i fixed a nice chunk of time ago. |

Thanks. That did the trick!
A while ago, I manually rebuilt zlib after having some problems (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=214898&highlight=)
The correct thing to do would've been reintalling zlib via emerge, but I didn't know this 
Problem solved - over and out. |
