That's odd. MACHTYPE is a internal shell variable for both bash and 
csh/tcsh. Is your "/bin/csh" a real shell? Try "echo $version" after 
running "/bin/csh -f". Also, what does "uname -m" give you?

For a 64-bit Linux system, MACHTYPE should include the substring 
"x86_64" (without the quotes). What do you get when you have MACHTYPE 
set to x86_64?

If all else fails, try setting the environment variable AMD64 to 1. The 
MACHTYPE detection basically just decides if it should set AMD64.

Please add to the odforce wiki with your eventual findings. :)
