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.

How right you are... ~/lisp/Lisp_Sources/site/cffi/tests $ file libtest.so libtest.so: Mach-O bundle i386 ~/lisp/Lisp_Sources/site/cffi/tests $ file libtest2.so libtest2.so: Mach-O bundle i386 ~/lisp/Lisp_Sources/site/cffi/tests $ lipo libtest.so -info Non-fat file: libtest.so is architecture: i386 ~/lisp/Lisp_Sources/site/cffi/tests $ lipo libtest2.so -info Non-fat file: libtest2.so is architecture: i386 I added a -m64 flag to the makefile for the test libs, now they are ~/lisp/Lisp_Sources/site/cffi/tests $ lipo libtest2.so -info Non-fat file: libtest2.so is architecture: x86_64 ~/lisp/Lisp_Sources/site/cffi/tests $ lipo libtest.so -info Non-fat file: libtest.so is architecture: x86_64 ~/lisp/Lisp_Sources/site/cffi/tests $ file libtest2.so libtest2.so: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64 CFFI-tests now infini-loops with cpu usage at 100% while compiling the file calbacks.lisp (that is a problem for another night...), however if I interrupt and do the following...
