If code is written to support only 32-bit architectures, but you're compiling with gcc/g++ on a 64-bit machine, always add the following flag in your makefile and then compile.
CFLAGS = -m32
without this if you compile the code, it will give you a 64-bit executable, which of course will not run on a 32-bit machine.
