I have an AMD64/Opteron/EM64T system. How do I prevent the compiled programs giving segmentation faults?

A) Start with a fresh extraction of the EMBOSS source and, before configuring, type (for all the above systems):

   setenv CC "cc -D__amd64__"           [csh/tcsh shells]  or
   export CC="cc -D__amd64__"           [bash/sh]

Note that the above is case sensitive, there is only one space character between the quotes and that there are 4 underscores in total (two each side of the amd64).
