hello
i am a cpd technician from Universisdad complutense de Madrid we are tring to install sac in a 64 bit equipment with mandriva 2007. The problem we have is due libncurses5 we have the 64 bits version of this library which obviously sac does not find, but when we put a native 32 bits libncurses library in /lib sac displays a Floating Point problems. Is there any fix for this problen ? do you know any way of running sac-101 in 64 bits platforms?. We can run without problems sac 57 in the sane equipment.

sorry for our not very good english
Thanks a lot for your assistance.

    Sac currently is not 64-bit native, but you can run it on a 4-bit
    machine in 32-bit mode.
    If you are compiling from source, please check the Readme.buildsac
    file for instructions on how to do this.

    * 64-Bit System
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    For those Building on a 64 Bit system, you need to identify the
    appropriate location of the X11 lib directory and can be done like
    % ./configure --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
    If the configure script does not detect your system as 64 bit, you
    will need to force the use of compile options -m32 by specifying
    it during the configure stage.
    $ env CFLAGS="-m32" ./configure --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
