+ ./configure --cache-file=./config.cache --prefix=/usr/local --with-x --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib64 --without-toolkit-scroll-bars --with-jpeg --with-png --with-tiff --with-gif --with-x-toolkit=athena loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu configure: error: Emacs hasn't been ported to `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' systems. Check `etc/MACHINES' for recognized configuration names. On Wed, 2007-03-21 at 11:19 -0700, David M. Fetter wrote: > It seems that this is still a problem, at least it is for us on RHEL4 > 64-bit.
