Swami Project

I'm attempting to compile swami on Fedora 14.  So far this has been an extremely painful process but I've managed to overcome pkg-config not finding libinstpatch, and then "make" not finding any of the libinstpatch header files.  Now I'm stuck at this message:

/usr/bin/ld: widgets/.libs/libwidgets.a(combo-box.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
widgets/.libs/libwidgets.a(combo-box.o): could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

 Any help would be appreciated.
