Hi,
I tried the suggestion to use the command
SAGE64=yes
export SAGE64
that was suggested as response to my last message by David Kirkby.
(My last message was that I could not install sage-4.6.2 to a machine
running Centos 5.5. This is a 64 bit machine with i7 8 core processor.)
However that seems to cause another bug with patch-2.5.9.
I am attaching a screen-shot. Hope someone can suggest a solution.

Sorry to here about your troubles Roy.
Your report actually highlighted a bug, as the bzip2 package did not try to
build 64-bit. It is only trying that on Solaris and OS X which is a bug.
But as soon as you tried to build GNU patch, Sage tried to build that 64-bit,
and it failed. This is the critical bit.

This is clearly a 64-bit machine, but do you have a 32-bit operating system
installed? This seems rather an old version of gcc (2008), so I'm wondering if
you have an old release of the operating system.
I think before spending much time on this, you should decide whether this is
really the operating system you want to run.
It could also be that somehow the BIOS in the machine is stopping this being
seen as 64-bit. But for whatever reason, your machine is behaving like a 32-bit
one.
That in itself should not stop Sage building. Sage builds fine on 32-bit
operating systems and whilst Solaris is 64-bit, Sage does not work very well
64-bit on there, so we have to build that 32-bit for now.
So your problem with ATLAS is not the 32-bit isssue, but I do wonder if you
should consider upgrading, or sorting out your hardware in some way, before
worrying too much about why ATLAS is not building. It would be pointless
spending a lot of time over that, if you realise your system is configured
sub-optimally and you want to put another operating system on it.
