In AKCL, has anyone managed to get a C function to return a string
that LIsp can use?

I tried the following, but get this error when I evaluate (test)

   Error: NIL is not a VECTOR
   Error signalled by TEST

the code is


(in-package 'user)

(Clines
 "#include <syscall.h>

  typedef char *StrinG;

  extern char name[64];

  StrinG hostname()
   {
  gethostname(name, 64);

  return(name);
   }")

(defentry test () (StrinG hostname))



Thanks,
Dave
