Errors while compiling SWIG wrappers on Solaris

[Michael Schmitt]

Thanks a lot. Compiling svm.o with -fPIC worked.

I found it very difficult to get information and a better understanding of 
the Linking process. Do you have any hints on background information, that 
helps to be able to debug such errors myself?

Regards, 
Michael
