[Openmcl-devel] Problems with Openmcl on Mac/Intel

[Gary Byers]

Are you trying to load a 32-bit foreign library in a 64-bit lisp ?
(I don't know what "libtest.so" is, but the value of CFFI::ARGUMENTS
in frame 0 makes me wonder about that.)

If this is the problem, I imagine that the CFFI test suite has options
to generate 64-bit test libraries; I seem to remember a similar issue
with ppc64.

In the shell,

shell> file /path/to/libtest.so

or

shell> lipo /path/to/libtest.so -info

might help to determine the architecture of the library.
