warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in object.

Actually, a simple Google search for 'DT_TEXTREL' comes up with quite a lot, e.g.

This means that you are including an object in the shared library
which was compiled without the -fpic option.

Are you sure you need to get rid of it? Try compiling your code with
the -fPIC compiler flag.

Thanks. have to admit I missed the first one of those, but have seem the second. (Curious, since we should have done the same search...)

The second answer however, didn't say much IMO, and I didn't consider it an answer. It sounded like "any random guess" to me.

The first one is quite interesting however. And it also gives more credit to the second option.

I'm gonna go read up on that option then.

Thank you jkr :)
