ERROR: compiling with sacio.a
2019-08-08 12:52:21
Dear all,

I have just installed Ubuntu 18.4 (64bit) with gfortran-7 or -8.
I need to re-compile additional sac programs.

In my previous system (ubuntu 16 64bit), I can compile the programs with no
error.
But now, I have problem with ld.

Here is output:

gfortran sac2xy.f sacio.a
/usr/bin/ld: sacio.a(rsac1.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can
not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: sacio.a(rsac2.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can
not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC
.... more lines ...
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

gfortran sac2xy.f sacio.a -fPIC
This also gives the same error.

Do you have any suggestions?


Best regards
Onur

    Sometimes adding “-m64” in the gfortran line may work.

    Dear All -

    It looks like the SAC I/O library (sacio.a) was compiled with a different set of code generation options than your code is being compiled with. The order of the options matters in a case like this. Try

    gfortran -fPIC sac2xy.f sacio.a

      Dear all,

      I tried all suggestions, but I cannot solve the problem.
      Someone also suggest me to re-compile SAC to generate new lib file. But, configure script cannot find installed packages on the system :(

      The latest version of SAC is 101.6a in 2013.
      Is it possible to share new version with small bug-fixes after 6 years ?

      Best regards
      Onur
