Not compiling in Linux

[lgmventura]

After installing all required dependencies on Ubuntu 18.04, including autoconf, libtool and FFTW using the instructions to cofigure it, Ladspa compilation stops on make. In the terminal I get:
/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: /usr/local/lib/libfftw3f.a(assert.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol 'stdout@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

It's trying to link against a static version of FFTW, rather than the shared version. If you built fftw from source yourself (you shouldn't need to do this, since Ubuntu has a perfectly good version!) then make sure you specify --enable-shared in its configure options.

I'm having this issue too.

you shouldn't need to do this, since Ubuntu has a perfectly good version!
I wish I knew about this before following the readme to a tee, ugh...

Regardless, @atsampson --enable-shared doesn't work, yields the same error.
