As muppet said, these errors arise because I simply copied the code from the Glib module. The guint64 type comes from the glib library, the typemaps are supplied by the Glib module. > As regards runtime errors, something like "%llu" will not be interpreted > correctly on Windows 2000 and earlier - you'll want to use "%I64u", "%I64x" > and "%I64d".

On my Vista 64 box I find that "%llu", "%llx", and "%lld" *are* > interpreted correctly (as also are "%I64u", "%I64x" and "%I64d").

Thanks for the information. -- Bye, -Torsten
