i'am using the CFFI on 32-bit machines without any problem. Switching to a 64-bit platform breaks the loading of a lib.

It doesn't matter if i use alternative 1 or 2.
Is it a general matter that CFFI cannot handle 64-bit libs ?
No, my primary Linux box is an Ubuntu amd64 machine, and it does work for me. Just to make sure, you are using an x86-64 SBCL? (what does (MACHINE-TYPE) return?) Also, what about trying:
This might be the error: (machine-type) returns "X86" !!! Funny enough though.
(sb-alien:load-shared-object "libgslcblas.so")
directly?
Returns an error that the lib cannot be loaded: libgslcblas cannot be found.
Will try to get a 64Bit SBCL up and running first. Thanks for the hint.
