Reini, I get the identical output to cygcheck as you. I don't know if I emailed to you, but I did write a little C program and linked it against the cyggsl-0.dll, and it worked. I'm a bit puzzled by the error message: it is identical to the one if I give it a non-existant file name. Here is with an existing cyggsl-0.dll: Unable to load foreign library (NIL). FFI::FOREIGN-LIBRARY: Cannot open library "/bin/cyggsl-0.dll": "No such file or directory" [Condition of type LOAD-FOREIGN-LIBRARY-ERROR] And here when loading cyggsl-0.dlla which does not exist: Unable to load foreign library (NIL). FFI::FOREIGN-LIBRARY: Cannot open library "/bin/cyggsl-0.dlla": "No such file or directory" [Condition of type LOAD-FOREIGN-LIBRARY-ERROR] To my untrained eyes, it is almost that it really does not see the file. I think that I need to play a bit in the debugger stack. I see that the -helper and -path functions are involved. Time to finally learn how to use slime's debugging features. Thanks for staying with me this long :-) Mirko BTW, I keep replying to both you and and Luis directly, as well as to the cffi-devel. If direct emails are annoying, let me know. _______________________________________________ cffi-devel mailing list cffi-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cffi-devel
