Can Brian or anyone else tell me what the plans are to provide the
sacio.a library for 64 bit machines? This seems an urgent matter to me
because most of us have tons of software that we cannot recompile with
a 32 bit flag without getting into messy problems.
best wishes,

    Guust,

    We are planning to create a 64 bit friendly version of sacio.a soon.

    It is a large undertaking due to the history and age of SAC.

    Cheers
    Brian

      As a quick and dirty solution maybe you could try to use the -m32 flag
      in the compiling time ... don't forgette to install the lib32 version
      of libraries.

        Hi!

        Because I had the same Problem, I wrote a little sacio module in
        Python, which does not depend on sacio.a. Of course this won't solve
        the general problem of the 32 bit sacio.a, but maybe it is of interest
        to those who only want to be able to read and write some SAC files
        from Python.

        BTW, -m32 also does not solve the problem, because in a large
        application, which uses lots of libraries, all of these libs would
        have to be compiled with -m32, which is not always easy. Also -m32
        limits the amount of memory the app can address, which prohibits the
        most interesting applications.

        Cheers,
        Sebastian
