Foamers,

I'm attempting to compile OF 2.3.x (ddafa9836ad9) on RHEL 5.7 using GCC 4.9.0. Everything compiles fine except for a small portion of foamyHexMesh (the app that I wanted to test). I receive the following error...

/home/brock/my_apps/binutils-2.24/bin/ld: /usr/lib/../lib64/libmpfr.a(clear.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.text' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/../lib64/libmpfr.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
/apps/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.x/wmake/Makefile:172: recipe for target '/apps/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.x/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libconformalVoronoiMesh.so' failed
make[2]: *** [/apps/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.x/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libconformalVoronoiMesh.so] Error 1
make[2]: Target 'libso' not remade because of errors.

...which ultimately causes foamyHexMesh to fail to compile.

The error notes to add -fPIC and recompile, however I have been unable to correctly identify where that needs to be added. Can anyone help me diagnose and fix this error?

Thanks!

Brock
