It seems likely that the directory:
/home/ng/loncapa/loncom/homework/caparesponse

contains some files compiled on 32 bit, which suggest you copied the  
content of that directory from a different (32 bit) server.

The following procedure should fix this issue:

cd /home/ng/loncapa/loncom/homework/

rm -rf caparesponse

cvs update -A -d caparesponse


*******

After you have done that, the contents of:

/home/ng/loncapa/loncom/homework/caparesponse

should be:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 ng ng   5967 Dec 20  2005 caparesponse.c
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ng ng  53622 Jan 21  2013 caparesponse.pm
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ng ng   1446 Jul  1  2003 commands
drwxrwxr-x 2 ng ng   4096 Aug  2 16:31 CVS
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ng ng   1857 May  4  2002 Makefile.PL
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ng ng    519 Oct 24  2000 README
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ng ng    490 Sep 29  2006 test.pl


If you now do:

cd /home/ng/loncapa/loncom/build

make clean

make build

you should find that capa.so will be built for 64-bit and the contents of

/home/ng/loncapa/loncom/homework/caparesponse

will now be:

blib           capa.pm          capa.so      CVS           Makefile.PL
capa.bs        caparesponse.c   capa_wrap.c  Makefile      pm_to_blib
capaFunctions  caparesponse.o   capa_wrap.o  Makefile.old  README
capa.i         caparesponse.pm  commands     Makefile.pl   test.pl

Now you can proceed to use:

su
make install

to install CVS HEAD.  You will need to do:

cd /home/ng/loncapa/loncom/

ln -s development_dns_domain.tab dns_domain.tab
ln -s development_domain.tab     domain.tab
ln -s development_dns_hosts.tab  dns_hosts.tab
ln -s development_hosts.tab      hosts.tab

first, if you have not already set up those symbolic links, before running:

make install


Alternatively, to install a different (tagged) LON-CAPA version (e.g.  
2.11.0.RC1), do:

cd /home/ng/loncapa/

cvs update -r version_2_11_0_RC1 -d doc
cvs update -r version_2_11_0_RC1 -d loncom
cvs update -r version_2_11_0_RC1 -d rat
cvs update -r version_2_11_0_RC1 -d modules/TexConvert
cvs update -r version_2_11_0_RC1 -d CAPA

cd /home/ng/loncapa/loncom/build

make clean
make build
su make install
