Is this why I am getting this error when I do (require "CHUD-METERING")?

Error opening shared library "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ 
CHUD.Framework/CHUD": dlopen(/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ 
CHUD.Framework/CHUD, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:
         /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CHUD.Framework/CHUD: no  
matching architecture in universal wrapper

I commented out the chud-framework specific stuff due to the above  
error just to see if a valid spatch file is generated.  That failed  
too.  The file was empty and after further investigation, I discovered  
that the function was returning the same number for both the lower and  
higher bounds.  i.e., there are no functions in here.

CL-USER> (chud::get-readonly-area-bounds)
52777631875072
52777631875072

Finally, I tried to run the print-shark-spatch-record by specifying a  
specific function as an argument but that did not work either.

Any insight would be very appreciated.  Thanks.
