[Flow-tools] Cflow won't compile

[Scott B. Lowe]

Thanks to Dave Plonka,  this was his suggestion which worked for me.

                " I see from the output you supplied that your gcc is 
complaining that

	it wants the flow-tools library to have been compiled with "-fPIC"
	(for Position Independent Code).

	My suggestion is for you to try rebuilding flow-tools-0.68 with after
	reconfiguring with it to use "gcc -fPIC", e.g.:

  	 $ cd flow-tools-0.68
  	 $ make clean
  	 $ rm -f config.cache
  	 $ CC='gcc -fPIC' ./configure
  	 ...
  	 $ make

	Then do this in the contrib/Cflow-* dir:

   	$ perl Makefile.PL
   	$ make
	"


I am running Fedora Core 5 (64 bit) and using gcc version 4.1.1.  I should also mention that I needed a patch to get flow-tools (0.68) to compile which is located here :  http://flow-tools.googlecode.com/files/flow-tools-0.68-0002-Fix-an-invalid-lvalue-in-assignment-compile-error.patch
