You need to understand where the error comes from: 1. what is the *actual* value of SIZEOF_LONG (it should be 4)? 2. what is the actual value of LONG_BIT, and where does it come from? (it should be 32) To understand that better, I recommend to edit the command line of gcc in the following way (assuming you use gcc 4.x): 1. replace -c with -E -dD 2. remove the -o <file> option This will generate preprocessor output to stdout, which you then need to search for SIZEOF_LONG and LONG_BIT. Searching back for # <number> lines will tell you where the definition was made. If that doesn't make it clear what the problem is, post your findings here.
