Glpk version 4.9 is too old (4 years ago) and needs some tricks to
compile on a 64-bit platform.

You could try the most recent version, 4.28, which conforms to ILP32,
LLP64 and LP64 programming models, and needs no tricks.

GLPK distribution can be ftp'ed from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/> or
from some mirror ftp sites; see <http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.

About programming models see
