Your email had no attachments.  Would you please send me the files
"configure.log" and "make.log", which are describe in the on-line
installation instructions.

I believe that the "-qlonglong" option is only for the AIX native
compiler, xlc(1).  I wouldn't expect it to work with gcc(1).

I don't recall the "-q64" option, but I suspect something similar.

I recommend using the native C compiler for your system, it that's
available.

May I log onto the system in question as the LDM user?  This would
speed things up greatly.
