64bit Linux issues

Almost all source packages use the "./configure && make && make install" idiom.
This is well and fine, but most of the "configure" scripts were generate with
autoconf on 32-bit machines. You may see this error when you try to build a package from source
on 64-bit Linux:
/usr/lib/libpopt.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
Simply regenerate the "configure" script:
autoreconf -f -i
Then try the ancient incantation again:
./configure && make && make install
