I'm very sorry but I mixed up the version numbers (unfortunately there
is no way to find out the exact svn version of an installed CBC).

Please grant me one more chance and try to use version -r1643. For me it
works both on 32bit and 64bit systems.

Sorry again for taking your time by suggesting a wrong version.

I also wrote to the CBC mailing list about the problem and got the
answer that this incompatible change is intentional and it is a part of
a major overhaul for the upcoming 2.8 version (alas it somehow also
found its way to version 2.7.1, which means that there is no cbc release
that works correctly with LEMON. Version 2.6.x can theoretically be
used, but it has another bugs making e.g. our mip_test.cc fail).

So, we will probably have to update our CBC interface in the near
future. Till then, I suggest using CBC version -r1643, which seems
alright.

Regards,
Alpar
