[Libguestfs] error make guestfs: relocation libfuse.a Bad value

Trying to setup guestfs on a coworkers system and am at a loss about this error and doing 'make' on version 1.20: /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libfuse.a(fuse.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.bss' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/libfuse.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Installed fuse via: sudo apt-get install fuse sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev Tried this before configure: export CFLAGS="-fPIC" And ./configure --enable-shared With and without "--enable-shared". Never had this problem with my system... Any suggestions?
