error compiling KDE 3.4.0 - google not much help on the issue

[Michael Cook]

I'm trying to compile KDE 3.4.0 using Konqueror on Fedora Core 3 on an x86_64 system.

everything runs fine until kdebase starts compiling. When it reaches .../kdebase-3.4.0/kcontrol/info
make dies like this:

it would seem TO ME that my libGL.a file has not been compiled with the correct options.  My question is this: how do I fix it?  I don't know how to "recompile with -fPIC" as I don't have the source code (and don't know where to find it).  The libGL.a file that I DO have came from an rpm file: xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.FC3.13.x86_64.rpm

anyone know any "easy" way to solve this problem? (if not, a "hard" way?)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Mike
