Aterm 64 Bit Can Not Build


Hi, I'm trying to build aterm on my 64bit machine, but the error I get from the configure script is:
Code:
configuring for aterm 1.00.01
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... 
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
Here is the output of config.log:
Code:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by aterm configure 1.00.01, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-transparency

configure: exit 77
I'm assuming that this has to do with the fact that I'm using a 64bit system, but is there a way I can configure it to compile on this system?
Help is much appreciated, thanks.

Did you try it with a slackbuild?
If so, edit the slackbuild-file and replace the ARCH-variable with x86_64.
Should work ... hopefully

that was exactly it, thank you, I figured it wouldn't be something like that because in the ./configure script it was detecting the architecture, but thank you anyways.
