I've been attempting to install R-3.1.3 from source on
# cat /etc/*release*
NAME="Amazon Linux AMI"
VERSION="2015.09"
ID="amzn"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="2015.09"
PRETTY_NAME="Amazon Linux AMI 2015.09"
ANSI_COLOR="0;33"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:amazon:linux:2015.09:ga"
HOME_URL="http://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/"
Amazon Linux AMI release 2015.09
cpe:/o:amazon:linux:2015.09:ga
And after ./configure && make installation fails with the following error
gcc -std=gnu99 -shared -fopenmp -L/usr/local/lib64 -o libRlapack.so
dlamch.o dlapack.o cmplx.o -L../../../lib -lRblas -lgfortran -lm -lquadmath
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-amazon-linux/4.8.3/libgfortran.a(string_intrinsics.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.bss.zero_length_string' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-amazon-linux/4.8.3/libgfortran.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [libRlapack.so] Error 1
Naturally I learn about -fPIC on how to recompile with -fPIC and R_X86_64_32S on What do R_X86_64_32S and R_X86_64_64 relocation mean?
I then make the change in the CFLAGS
# ./configure 'CFLAGS=-g -O2 -fPIC' --with-x=no --enable-shared
I know it worked because configure prints the values it set,
C compiler: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -fPIC
Fortran 77 compiler: gfortran -g -O2
Nevertheless same error occurs. I've tested this on Centos65, and Centos71 and Ubuntu1404 all work, but my VPC won't, please help
