  It couldn't be that simple :-).

  I had never thought about it, but it seems reasonable; probably it is 
not possible to link several modules (.o files) into an executable when 
some are 32-bit and some are 64-bit.
  I think there is a similar problem with other libraries used by evm, 
maybe readline or, more probably, pthreads.
  However don't recompile them with -m64. Installing them in your 
default path could break your system, I wouldn't dare if I were you. And 
the same might hold for flex; if you have installed the 64-bit version 
in your default path then I suggest you to recompile it again with -m32.

  Thanks. The output of eam-config is exactly as I expected, and also 
config.h is ok.

  I have some ideas worth investigating, but this is really becoming 
too much work on you. Some days ago you very kindly offered me a shell 
account on your UltraSparc machine. The time to accept has come :-). I 
just need a normal user account, (not root or bin), and write permission 
on /tmp. I will install everything it's needed under /tmp/usr and change 
paths only on my environment, thus without messing up your system; of 
course remember not to send me passwords with "Cc:" set to 
address@hidden

  I thank you again for being so helpful. You deserve a special credit.
