Dear Connie and all,

Indeed I was stupid. I installed the Intel compilers, but the PATH was 
pointing primarily to
the ia32 version of the compiler. Now I uninstalled everything and 
install the EM64T version alone,
and it seems everything works.

I shall have a happy Christmas without having to reinstall the OS. 8)
