I've now compiled and installed on a 64 bit machine. This is a low usage live server, and seems to be working. I use the CDB back end on all of my installs. I did not need to use any of the tricks that used to be required to get older versions to compile on a 64 bit processor. I believe the 64 bit problems were fixed sometime after 5.4.18 when I switched build system files to something created after 64 bit processors became popular. I have spotted one small problem... On both of these installs the first thing make did was run aclocal then run ./configure again. I believe this is a bug in the files created by the gnu build system. The fix may be to run the following: aclocal autoconf autoheader automake before packaging the next update. You will want to be sure you are running with a reasonably recent version of the gnu build system. The test to verify it is fixed is to insure make doesn't run ./configure when you are building from a fresh tarball. This probably doesn't deserve its own release since most people will not notice. OTOH, someone without the build system installed will be unable to get past the make step of building. If you haven't done the svn conversion yet, you might want to fix this before you do. Build system file updates are messy since we have many of the output files in cvs/svn. Rick !DSPAM:4977b4b832681990434868!
