pynids on 64-bit linux

Trying to compile pynids gave me fits.  Thankfully I could ask for help ;-).

gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/nidsmodule.o -L../libnids/lib -L../libpcap/lib -lnids -lpcap -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.5/nids.so
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libnids.a(libnids.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libnids.a: could not read symbols: Bad value


1) http://jon.oberheide.org/pynids/ - download
2) cd libnids-1.24
3) cd CFLAGS=-fPIC ./configure --disable-libglib --disable-libnet --disable-shared
4)  python setup.py build

    Just wanted to clear something up for step 3.

    2) cd libnids-1.24
    3) ./configure CFLAGS=-fPIC --disable-libglib --disable-libnet --disable-shared
    4) make ; cd ..
    5) python setup.py build

    Thank you for putting this together Chris
