this message is telling you that libpgc was compiled as a static library 
and was not compiled with the -fPIC flag. Unfortunately, you can't link 
a non relocatable static lib into a (relocatable) dynamic/shared lib - 
so you must either find a libpgc.so and replace the link options with 
this lib instead of libpgc.a - or you must recompile libpgc with the 
-fPIC flag - which may not be an option - either way, you must find 
another libpgc which you can link - oitherwise you're limited to 
building static and hence no plugins for paraview.
