Does anybody successfully run AOLserver on 64-bit AMD Opeteron?

I've compiled AOLserver 4.0.5 on Suse Linux running on 64-bit AMD
Opteron without any problems.

But AOLserver doesn't start, only prints the following message:

$ ./bin/nsd -ft sample-config.tcl
NsTclInitObjs: sizeof(int) < sizeof(long)
Aborted
 
 
I think I added the check for sizeof(int) < sizeof(long) to make sure the code which converts strings to internal Ns_Time types wouldn't overflow.  Try just commenting out the checks in nsd/tclobjs.c -- it may just work.  AOLserver ran on 64bit DEC Alpha machines fine for years but there hasn't been an exhaustive review to make sure everything is truely 64bit clean.
