Hi Trevor,

Using the "-fPIC" C and C++ compiler option should work fine.  If you want 
extra confidence in the library you built, make sure you run "make check" from 
the top level source file after building the library.  That runs more tan 
100,000 tests on the library code, including every interface function.

The most recent beta release will also support dynamic linking when the 
--enable-shared option is used with configure, but that is not the default.
