Setup pjsip for Python
<p>I'm trying to install pjsip's Python binding but am running into a build error that I feel is environmental but am just not able to figure out what's wrong.</p>

<p>I'm able to build pjsip without issue but run into a problem when trying to build the python bindings -- I'm getting an error from ld about a bad value in one of the static libraries.</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>I was able to find an answer in an old mailing list entry (<a href="http://lists.pjsip.org/pipermail/pjsip_lists.pjsip.org/2008-August/004456.html" rel="nofollow">http://lists.pjsip.org/pipermail/pjsip_lists.pjsip.org/2008-August/004456.html</a>).</p>

<p>Set CFLAGS=-fPIC and rebuild the PJSIP library (make clean &amp;&amp; ./configure &amp;&amp; make dep &amp;&amp; make), then follow the directions for making the Python library.</p>
