Reverse engineering x86 linux PIC code with hexrays/IDA

I have some Linux binaries (.so files more specifically) compiled for x86 with -fPIC in GCC or so. When I reverse engineer them in IDA, I have problem because IDA wont pick up pointers to data in the data segment automatically, I have to take all the numbers and manually calculate what data it points to.

Does anyone know a way to get IDA to resolve the data pointers automatically so that I can jump directly and see what data its reading?
