I have found some Makefiles ASSUME I'm using an x86 machine (like the source
to POV_Ray 3.1), and I have to comment out that part, and uncomment the
generic linux compiler line.
As for trying to run programs that don't run, and no error messages are
produced, that has happened to me with licq. I DL'd and installed it (from
the licq RPM. Someone just made the RPM, it's nothing official at all), and
the first time you run it, you get a seg fault, and every time after that,
you get nothing, you just return to the prompt.
