in thread Any chance I get Bloom::Faster running on my 64bit system?

(...) If I need to mess with the Makefile or such, please supply steps, as I am not sure how to properly customize a cpan initiated make.

Now, given that I need to sneak in the -fPIC flag into the cpan routine, how would I do that?

BUT: isn't this flag already set? See:
mkdir .libs gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -g -O2 -c bloom.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .

    Yes, it seems to be set for the building of Bloom::Faster.I think it also needs to be set (but apparently wasn't) when the bloom library (libbloom.so) was built. So ... the suggestion seems to be that you need to first rebuild the libbloom library with -fPIC.

    Mind you, I'm only going by what I've read in that perldl mailing list thread - mainly http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/pipermail/perldl/2008-June/003642.html, where the poster is talking about re-building the pgplot C library, not about re-building the PGPLOT perl module. (But I have no personal experience to rely on, here.)

    Cheers,
    Rob
