Compilation on FreeBSD

Hello,

I'm attempting to compile root (root_v5.32.01) on FreeBSD 9.0 (Release, AMD64) on a core i7 machine with root configured thus:

./configure freebsd7 --enable-soversion --prefix=/opt/local/

(there appears not to be provision for arch=freebsd9).

Compilation fails:

  /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libgslcblas.a(sasum.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libgslcblas.a: could not read symbols: Bad value gmake: *** [lib/libMathMore.so] Error 1

I followed the instruction to recompile gsl with -fPIC, but the error persists.

Thanks for any help.

Roger
