What didn't work?  You couldn't compile the file?  What does "file"
say for the object files you compiled?  And for the .so file?

You have to solve that problem first I think.

Probably.

    Chaitanya> I can try, but since CMUCL is only  32-bit, will it work?

Vladimir said in a separate e-mail that it works.  But if you MUST
have a 64-bit lisp, then cmucl will not work for you.  If you can deal
with 32-bit (which I'm pretty sure works for other people), then cmucl
is ok.  You might consider clisp, gcl, or sbcl since I think these
have 64-bit versions.  And I think uffi supports some (all?) of them.
