I am sure I am providing insufficient information, please ask for more.

I installed R 2.14.2 on my Ubuntu laptop with and AMD64 processor and also installed RStudio  and everything worked fine.

Now, I tried to build R 2.15.1 from source and installed it using defaults. RStudio now complained that R was not built as a shared library.

Went back and uninstalled, and configured with -enable-R-shlib

Now make fails at:
/usr/bin/ld: CConverters.o: relocation R_X86_64_325 against '.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Being new to Linux, I have no idea how to recompile with -fPIC

Any help would be appreciated.

Mike
