As a consequence of that, you only have 32-bit libraries and 32-bit headers. This means gcc can't generate 64-bit programs becasue it's got no way of linking them. I suggest you install a 64-bit OS. Then you can use 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. > >What did the first 20 or so lines of the > >configure output look like? > creating cache ./config.cache > checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu > checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu > checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu This is 32-bit only. Now, it is possible to build a 32-bit to 64-bit cross compiler. To do that, if you really want to do it, you'll need to get a set of 64-bit libraries and headers from somwhere and build a x86_64 cross-compiler. I don't encourage you to do this. Andrew.
