Is the package you are building a fortran package?

There is a 32-bit mode and a 64-bit mode for compilers, frequently fortran 
compilers use the opposite convention from gcc. You need to find a way to make 
your program 32-bit if your library is 32-bit, and 64-bit otherwise. Use the 
unix "file" command to learn more.

Good luck,

Ed
