Hi Centos Users

I try to compile SNMPPD (SNMP Proxy Daemon) on Centos 5.1 x86_64 with
latest patches. Dependencies (like libsplit, net-snmp-libs,
net-snmp-devel, net-snmp-libs) are installed, both 32 and 64 Bit.

# rpmbuild -tb snmppd-0.5.2.tar.gz

Can anyone explain me "/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible" in plain
english ;) How to solve it?

cheers
Simon
