Kindly help me out, thanks.

Hi,

This is an i/o issue (google the term endian/endianness for more info). The solution depends on the compiler you have used with DP.
Check the file "INSTALL" in the directory where you extracted the source code, the
last chapter in this file deals with this issue.

BR,
Kari
