[asterisk-dev] H323 64 bit Nightmare

[Felipe Bergo]

On many packages the -fPIC error message means that the package
authors provided a bad Makefile/autoconf/automake, but in the case of
openh323's pwlib, I have just tried compiling ptlib 1.12.0 from the
source on two 64-bit boxes (one running CentOS-4.4, the other with
CentOS-5.0), and both compiled it cleanly with a mere

./configure; make

Your setup (gcc / binutils / libtool) does seem to be corrupted and/or
outdated, or you don't have a 64-bit version of one of the shared
libraries ptlib depends on.
