I had a workaround for this problem, which was removed in 14.0.0 because I thought it no longer occurred. I re-introduced the workaround in this tarball. Please test this tarball (run 'rake build' inside) and tell me if it works: http://ruby-vpi.rubyforge.org/ruby-vpi-15.0.1.tgz By the way, here is an explanation of the problem from the pre-14.0.0 documentation: The VPI functions @vpi_vprintf@ and @vpi_mcd_vprintf@ are not made accessible to Ruby. However, this isn't a big problem because you can use Ruby's printf method instead. The reason for this limitation is that some C compilers have trouble with pointers to the va_list type. For these compilers, the second line in the code shown below causes a "type mismatch" error. <code lang="c"> void foo(va_list ap) { va_list *p = ≈ } </code>
