Re: Problem building 2.9.4 on x86_64

[Tim Davis]

You cannot typecast the long * down to int *.
You need to call cholmod_l_row_subtree instead, when compiling
with -m64.  The 4th argument of that function is long *, not int *.

Likewise for all other CHOLMOD routines.  You need cholmod_l_*
when compiling in 64-bit mode with 64-bit integers.
