I am building a version of Asterisk for use on Fedora 9 derived systems.
The environment is patched up to the latest updates. The Asterisk
Voicemail does not work unless linked against the static library for
c-client. This worked fine on the i386 platform but is failing with the
following message on the x86_64 platform.

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/c-client.a(osdep.o): relocation R_X86_64_32
against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile with -fPIC


Can anybody point me to what I need to change (presumably in the uw-imap
build) to get this to work?

It needs (re)building with -fPIC compiler flag.  I can help fix that, but
F-9 has reached EOL, and no further updates are allowed.

I should have said, I have backported the F11 package to F9 and still get the problem!

In the meantime, try this build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1460664

Looked at this and not sure what to do! Have downloaded the binary packages from the x86_64 subtask and will try them, but I would normally rebuild here first and use the resulting packages.

To answer the question in your other response! Asterisk loads the voicemail modules dynamically, with the imap version this fails as the c-client library tries to bind back into entry points provided by the voicemail module and the dynamic loader barfs - I suspect that symbols are getting stripped to early somewhere but cannot pin it down. The advice from the uw-imap mailing lists is "link with the static library" so thats what I have done. The reasons I do not use the Fedora release version of asterisk are: I am making changes to the voicemail code and need to rebuild; I am still using the 1.4.x series of asterisk server and have ported that latest release onto the Fedora build; I tend to rebuild most things here as we have made some mods to core libraries for various bug fixes. (nss_ldap being one in particular)

Will let you know how I get one.

Howard.
