[Duplicity-talk] Building duplicity on AMD64 gives error: gcc failed

[jensbeckmann]

Hi,

I used to have duplicity on my 32 bit system and it works great. Now I have an 
AMD64 machine with SuSe and want to install duplicity, but it gives an error 
(full output below).

It says "recompile with -fPIC" and this seem to be a problem with the AMD64 
architecture. I found some information on the "-fPIC error" at: 
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=3

Has anyone else problems with duplicity on AMD64 machine? Any help is welcome!

Regards 
  Jens
