Build error for x86-64

I have just tried to build the latest version on 64-bit debian (on vmware) and it worked properly. I will try to download fedora 9 to see what's up there.

This will take 13 hours to download the dvd image.

While we're waiting, can you change line 234 of src/ikarus-runtime.c to be:

    fprintf(stderr, "Mapping (%d bytes) failed:%s\n", size, strerror(errno));

and tell me how many bytes it's trying to allocate?

Thanks!

Confirmed that this is broken. I will have to fix this, but the changes required are a little involved to be done now (as I'm preparing for a new release and don't want to break things). Setting priority to medium since the 32-bit still works as usual under fedora 9. I'll let you know when there's progress. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.

OK,

thanks for your fast reply. I'm not in that big need for the 64bit version, I was planning to try the FFI, but, most 32bit versions of libraries should already be installed on my system.

As I understand your last message, you do not need the result from the suggested patch of ikarus-runtime.c anymore?

The FFI should work on the 32-bit version just as well.

Correct.
