> Hey Claudius,

It seems to me that you are facing some incompatibilities regarding
architecture, because the error mentions

and from what I could find this happens when you are trying to build from
32bits architecture when it should actually be 64bits (at least, that's
what the makefile expects, it seems.

To be honest, I don't know how to *solve* this, but I believe it would be
helpful if you could tell us what architecture does your computer (or VM if
that is the case) have.

You can do that by running the command-line lscpu. When I run it, mine
shows these first two lines, for instance:

> Architecture:                    x86_64
> CPU op-mode(s):                  32-bit, 64-bit
>


Sorry for not giving you any more conclusive answers, I'll try to dig into
it a bit more, and reach back, in case you weren't able to resolve it in
the mean time.

Wish you a great Sunday! :)

Juliana

Above is the error that I'm getting. All help is appreciated.
