I found a little inconsistency in Mathematica 5.1 MathLink about the function MLGetByteString, since looking in the Help Browser I found both these two different prototypes: int MLGetByteString( MLINK link, unsigned char **s, long *n, long spec) int MLGetByteString( MLINK link, const unsigned char** sp, long* n, long spec) Now, I wrote my C code assuming that the first prototype was right, and the code works perfectly under Windows XP; problems arise when I try to compile the same C code on a different computer running Linux and Mathematica 5.0, since I get several warnings when compiling. It seems that the right prototype for MLGetByteString under Linux is the second one. Now, my question is: how can I wright a code suitable for both the platform? It's not beautiful to see all these warnings... thanks in advance, andrea
