When trying to build sage-1.5 on an ia64-Linux machine, the build of tachyon-0.97 fails:
: gcc -m64 -Wall -O6 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -DLinux -DLP64 -DTHR : -D_REENTRANT -DUSEPNG -I/home/kate/sage/sage-1.5-ia64-Linux/local/include -c .. /src/api.c -o ../compile/linux-64-thr/libtachyon/api.o : cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-m64" : make[4]: *** [../compile/linux-64-thr/libtachyon/api.o] Error 1 : make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/kate/sage/sage-1.5-ia64-Linux/spkg/build/tachyon-0 .97/unix' : make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 : make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/kate/sage/sage-1.5-ia64-Linux/spkg/build/tachyon-0 .97/unix' : make[2]: *** [linux-64-thr] Error 2 : make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kate/sage/sage-1.5-ia64-Linux/spkg/build/tachyon-0 .97/unix' : Error building Tachyon Ray Tracer I believe a fix is to modify spkg-install so that it reads: if [ $UNAME = "Linux" ]; then make linux-thr if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Maybe your system is 64-bit; trying again." if [ `uname -p` = "ia64" ]; then echo "ia64" make linux-ia64-thr else echo "64-bit arch" make linux-64-thr fi fi finished fi With this fix, tachyon-0.97 builds on ia64-Linux and the rest of the build also finishes successfully.
