You dont need to, the compiler switches already include it. On 64 bit platforms this message is sometimes seen as a side result of something else, usually in conjunction with the "relocation R_X86_64_32 ..." message. I am also building log4cxx on an AMD64 system, but I am using the automake mechanism. There is a daily dist-tarball abvailable at http://littletux.homelinux.org/log4cxx/log4cxx-0.9.8.tar.gz which is identical to the SVN HEAD with the exception of two additional patches not yet in SVN (http://littletux.homelinux.org/log4cxx/patches/). You can try to build this with the usual $ ./configure $ ./make Probably you have to pass the parameters --with-apr= and --with-apr-util= to the configure script to point it to the APR installation library.
