That explains why have you specified everything but
the version of dosemu you are trying to run. :)

You need to get dosemu sources from CVS in order to
compile it for the 64-bit system, but even then it
will be compiled in a 32bit compatibility environment,
which is basically a pain to setup for the novice.
True 64bit support is not complete yet.

Try dosbox first and only if that fails, get back to
compiling the CVS dosemu for the 64bit system.
Alternatively, run the 32bit (i386) linux kernel on
your 64bit system - this will work too.

No.
