Compile Error under 64-bit Linux

[NMani]

I keep getting an error while trying to compile on my 64bit Linux. It
compiles fine on 32 bit. I'm not a C-programmer but I assume the code
just isn't written for 64 bit systems.

Sys info:
Linux TheBeast 2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP Mon Oct 31 12:58:38 UTC 2009

Nevermind. I just put "CFLAGS = -fPIC" in the makefiles of the subdirectories that were giving me the problems and it compiled fine:

I haven't tried it out yet but the 'make test' doesn't seem to work. It appears that all that is missing is a small, sample database that should be a part of the gem.

The paths for the other dbs in the test are absolute and not relative.
