Enjoy.

    Hi Romeo,
    Martin Albrecht (http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~malb/) has found a way around hermes not compiling on AMD64: change all instances of “unsigned long” to “unsigned int” . His explanation:

    ”
    The hermes author(s) took for granted that an unsigned long is 32-bit wide
    which is not guaranteed by the C standard. It’s not even guaranteed
    for “unsigned int” IIRC. But on amd64 system “unsigned int” is 32-bit wide
    maybe there’s even a quasi standard for this. So I replaced all “unsigned
    long”s by “unsigned int”s and voila it works. :-) This is probably not the
    cleanest fix (autotools can check for widths of ints) but it works on my
    32-bit linux box and on sage.math.washington.edu.
    ”

    The patch (against hermes 0.9.9) is available here: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/dfdeshom/custom/hermes-0.9.9/amd64-patch.txt
