OK, so Hat seems to work fine on our Linux 64-bit machine as well.
However, it does look like our Linux distribution of the gcc C-compiler
and libraries is building in 32-bit mode, so this is not a fair test.

It seems likely that your SuSe distribution has 64-bit mode turned on by
default.

So, one thing you could try is to switch back to 32-bit mode on your C
compiler, and see if Hat then works for you.  Here is how:

  * Add the flag "-m32" to the symbol OPT defined in Makefile.inc
  * Add the flag "-m32" to every symbol CFLAGS defined in src/hattools/Makefile
  * make clean
  * make
  * etc

Let us know how you get on.
