Make for 64 bit not working

Posted on August 31, 2013

I’m trying to do a 64 bit make on my droplet with is an x64 Ubuntu system. When I do make I get this error.

“CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set make”

Any ideas how this could be fixed? Thanks!

What’s the output of <code>uname -r</code> and what software are you trying to compile?
