bitlib build error

[Joseph Smith]

Keep getting this error when trying to build bitlib on my x86_64 laptop, 
any ideas?

-----------------------
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/liblua.a(lapi.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 
against `luaO_nilobject_' can not be used when making a shared object; 
recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/liblua.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [bit.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/joe/lua-5.1.4/bitlib-25'
make: *** [all] Error 2
-----------------------

I even tried configuring it with:

./configure --with-lua=/usr/local CXXFLAGS=-fPIC CFLAGS=-fPIC CPPFLAGS=-fPIC

But still same error....

You need to add -fPIC to CFLAGS in lua-5.1.4/src/Makefile

That's what I suspected, I will try as soon as I get a chance, thanks
