Bug Description

libsuitesparse-dev and related packages should be compiled with -fPIC option. Using libraries installed with package manager, produces following issue when compiling:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libsuitesparseconfig.a(SuiteSparse_config.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `malloc@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

The same issue was filed for Debian (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684116) two years ago but wasn't triaged.

I've added a fix to official libraries and packaged it in my ppa. To install libraries with a fix of this bug for Ubuntu Trusty, do the following:

1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bzindovic/suitesparse-bugfix-1319687
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get upgrade

I hope it will be resolved in the official package.
