You're not really showing any newbie-ness here, most CF programmers never have to worry about this kind of stuff. My guess is that this could work if you could compile Snap.cpp with a 64-bit compiler. However, that basically moves your problem from Java to C++. I don't know enough about C++ on Windows to definitively answer that question. http://www.dnjonline.com/article.aspx?id=jun07_access3264 I don't think that you can invoke a 32-bit native program from a 64-bit JVM JNI call. Honestly, my final recommendation would be to look for an alternative to this library that's written in Java.
