Comment (by hamish):

 Hi Alexice,

 I am not too surprised at hearing that.

 raster/r.out.mat/main.c:
 The mrows, ncols, format_block, and realflag variables are type "long" and
 written with fwrite(...,sizeof(long),...);. They should be written as 4
 bytes on all platforms. The name_len variable too.

 I think it's an easy fix but I have only passing exposure to 64bit
 programming. I don't have a 64bit machine to test on, but I do have matlab
 2007a.

 r.in.mat uses fread() + "long" integers for those things too, so would
 need to be fixed as well.


 thanks for the report,
 Hamish
