Passing Data Through CALL_EXTERNAL [message #3818]

I'm having problems passing a 2-D array to a C routine using IDL's
CALL_EXTERNAL procedure. Everything works fine passing scalars and 1-D
arrays but when I pass a 2 dimensional float array, I can not seem to
find the data in the second row of the array. I wrote some test code:

TEST.PRO:
nx = long(2) & ny = long(2)
arr = findgen(nx,ny)
a = call_external('test.so', '_test', arr, nx, ny)
end

TEST.C:
long junk(argc, argv)
int argc;
void *argv[];
{
long *nx,
*ny;

float **arr;

/* Assign passed in arguments */
arr = (float **) argv[0]; /* array */
nx = (long *) argv[1]; /* X dimensions of array */
ny = (long *) argv[2]; /* Y dimensions of array */

printf("Arr[][]...); /* prints: 0, 1, 0, 0 */
}

Unfortunately the IDL documentation does not address 2-D array.
I'm using IDL version 3.6.1 on Sun OS 4.1.3.
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks,
