Wanted to let you know that I had a few minutes to get back to this and check - the C API definitely works for me - it's specific to linking against perl. I checked with gdb, the content of the control structure is exactly identical between a simple C test app that does an ARInitialization and then ARVerifyUser and the same code in the ars_Login code in the ARS perl module.
The C code returns the proper status, the perl code always gets the ARERR #90 can't encode arguments error. The perl module gets the same error whether compiled with -malign-double or not. I'd say without assistance from BMC on the internals of the AR client library or someone who knows a lot more about how this code works it's going to be difficult to debug. (Or someone with access to the source code of the library who could try compiling arsperl (latest cvs) on lx64 platform to see if they can resolve the issue. -- Nathan On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 2:45 AM, Misi Mladoniczky <m...@rrr.se> wrote: > Hi, > > Did you use the -malign-double compile option?
