Hi Steve, Please take a look at your copy of stdint.h. See if you have a definition for the "intptr_t" and "uintptr_t" types. The POSIX standard(*) says "The following type designates a signed integer type with the property that any valid pointer to void can be converted to this type, then converted back to a pointer to void, and the result will compare equal to the original pointer: intptr_t." Ditto for uintptr_t, except that it is unsigned. The standard also says that intptr_t and uintptr_t are required on XSI-conformant systems; otherwise, they are optional. So you might have to define _XSI_SOURCE to make their declarations visible. It seems to me that this data type is just what you (and OpenSSL) are looking for. Hope this info helps. (*) The POSIX-2008 standard is online at http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/toc.htm. You must pre-register to view it, but the registration step carries no charge and is simple to perform.
