Thank you for the problem report. According to our build team, it is a know problem that will be fixed eventually.

This is a common feature request and will be addressed soon. As position independent code (PIC) is slower on some platforms we need to make sure only the client code is compiled with PIC flags. The client library is not performance critical in the same way as the server. So this is to make sure we in one or separate builds compile all objects to be in the "libmysqlclient.a" library with PIC flags.

I am compiling PHP against MySQL on 64 bit OpenSuSE Linux system and getting similar error: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.0.2/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1 This is the first time ever I am experiencing such an error. All 5.0.x versions of MySQL prior to 5.0.20 worked fine.

One more thing (maybe related): With MySQL 5.0.19 and lower I could install both MySQL-shared-5.0.19-0.glibc23.x86_64.rpm and MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.19-0.glibc23.x86_64.rpm at the same time. With MySQL 5.0.20 i can only install one or the other. I am getting an error about conflicting libraries if I try to have both installed at the same time.

Still the same problem with 5.0.20a. Cannot compile PHP with MySQL support on 64bit Linux... :(

When I have 5.0.20 X86_64 installed I can see now that the version of the libmysqlclient.a is reported back as 5.1.7 beta. Before it was matching the release number, i.e. version 5.0.19, etc. Is this intended?

While technically the "soname" of the 5.0 and 5.1 client library is the same and they should be compatible, it was not intended and filed as bug#19288.

Still the same problem with 5.0.21 x86_64 Linux. Compilation of PHP fails with the relocation error as before.

Regarding this comment from Kent: > As position independent code (PIC) is slower on some > platforms we need to make sure only the client > code is compiled with PIC flags. The client library is > not performance critical in the same way as the server. I believe it is a well known fact that on x86_64 (AMD64) platform the PIC code does not cause performance degradation. Can we at least have x86_64 binaries compiled with -fPIC flag in the next release please?

Marcel Kirsch
I totally agree with Andrei Nazarenko. Please compile x86_64 rpms with this flag! I don't want to spend my nights with rebuilding src-rpms, because the original packages don't work

Please fix this. The reason we use .rpm's from mysql is you recommend that we use your prebuilt binaries. Please.

All binaries are compiled position independent in 4.1.20 and 5.0.22, and will be in 5.1.11 beta.

Paul DuBois
Noted in 4.1.20, 5.0.22, 5.1.11 changelogs.
