New description:
There exists a new upstream versions of saclib and qepcad that compile on
64 bit machines at https://www.usna.edu/CS/qepcadweb/INSTALL/IQ.html
Sources:
- http://www.usna.edu/CS/qepcadweb/INSTALL/saclib2.2.6.tar.gz
- http://www.usna.edu/CS/qepcadweb/INSTALL/qepcad-B.1.69.tar.gz
Copy both tarballs into your `$SAGE_ROOT/upstream` directory and rename
`saclib2.2.6.tar.gz` to `saclib-2.2.6.tar.gz`
There could be some improvements to the QEPCAD interface, but it would
probably be better for me to open separate tickets and base them on the
updated spkg.
Another thing that would be good to include is Chris Brown's SLFQ program
https://www.usna.edu/CS/qepcadweb/SLFQ/Home.html
which calls QEPCAD B. I have gotten SLFQ to build outside of sage with a
couple of patches, but I have not actually gotten it to work yet.

Comment:
I made two (new-style) packages for latest saclib and qepcad, see the
branch. According to `saclib2.2.6/sysdep`, this should build on
`linuxX86`, `linuxX86_64`, `macosX86`, `macosX86_64`, `solarisSparc`. The
packages work well on my Debian/jessie/65bits. Let's see if you can let it
work on mac (i cannot test myself). I updated instructions on the ticket
description.
