compiling error on linux 64 bit with intel fortran

[cliguo]

During compile folder fem
libarpack.a(dnaupd.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
libarpack.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

Does anybody know the possible reasons and how to fix them?

Many thanks,

Sounds like you need to recompile the ARPACK library using -fPIC, as the objects in your .a file won't work in a shared library.
