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

It would appear that /usr/lib/libisam.a is not the correct type of
library for your 64-bit version of Linux. 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. (site:ibm.com could be a useful term).
