CentOS - Mar 2007 - newest realased firefox from source on Centos 4.4 64 bit.

Hello

any help would be cool.. 

./configure --enable-application=browser
 
looks like its good then get an error after the compile 

configure: warning: Recreating autoconf.mk with updated nspr-config
output

after make. 

I get 
/usr/bin/ld: nsCOMPtr.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against
`nsGetServiceByCID::operator()(nsID const&, void**) const' can not be
used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[3]: *** [libxpcom_core.so] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/rpmbuild/rpm/SOURCES/mozilla/xpcom/build'
gmake[2]: *** [libs] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rpmbuild/rpm/SOURCES/mozilla/xpcom'
gmake[1]: *** [tier_2] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rpmbuild/rpm/SOURCES/mozilla'
make: *** [default] Error 2

Yeah.

Looks to me you're building Mozilla's source. Take your problem off to 
Mozilla where the experts are.

If it's a CentOS package you're building, probably centos-devel is a 
better list.

Do provide better info,
