when installing the grib_api , an error appearing:

relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be usedwhen making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC .

the solution :

export CC=”gcc -fPIC”
export CXX=”g++ -fPIC”

export FC="gfortran -fPIC"

export F77="gfortran -fPIC"

then goto the jasper files

make distclean; make clean
./configure --enable-shared
make

then goto the grib_api file

./ configure --enable-shared
make
