Compiling and linking in C with C-ISAM library

Can anyone tell me why I am getting the following error? /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.5/../../ ../libisam.a when searching for -lisam /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libisam.a when searching for -lisam /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lisam collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Maybe you have a 32-bit version of C-ISAM instead? As to whether there is a 64-bit version of C-ISAM available - that you'll need to research on your own; remember, Google might be your friend.
