Yeah, that explains why I didn't get any compiling error on a 32bit
computer and did get on a 64bit one (where I did correct the error).
However, the latter was satisfied with %li. Apparently in c++ there is
no difference between long and long int (as far as I can find through
Google) but for c I could not find much info on a potential difference.

Perhaps the resource provided by Tristan can help with that (@Tristan:
btw, thanks for that). I will go through that in the coming week.
