Can you explain how you are trying to write to the socket and how you are receiving?
If you use write or send you just supply a pointer to the value and a length to write, viz - written = write(sokfd, (char *)fptr, 8); where fptr is a pointer to your floating point number. We use Sqlite embedded as RPCs but actually encapsulate the data as XML and send floating point or other numbers in text form so that there can never be byte ordering or format issues. SQL also maps quite nicely to XML. The downside is the complexity of the XML parser at the receive end.
