The latest Comedi CVS snapshot appears to build and install on Red Hat 7.3 with no modifications. I followed (and modified) the hints given by Dan Christian (for 7.1) and Kevin Thayer (for 7.0). In the process of trying to reproduce my exact steps tonight before writing this note, I've figured out that the instructions in INSTALL work without modification. (The instruction to copy the config file to .config is unnecessary but harmless.) I built Comedi for 2.4.18-10. Here's what I did: (as root) cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-10 (kernel source directory) make oldconfig (this creates .config) make dep (as user) cd /path/to/comedi make config (must be root the first time) (point to /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-10) make (as root) make install I have not done extensive testing, but I can read input from a PCI-DAS-1200 using cb_pcidas.o. This is my first experience with Comedi, so let me know if I've missed anything. Comedi is great. I've just completing porting a creaky old DOS real-time application to Linux, and the adaptation to Comedi was really simple. It took me less than two days to install Comedi, learn the API, and adapt a real application to it. Of course, I wrote the application with a good modular design planning to do just that, someday. Sometimes you wait a long time to collect on the investment of doing it right :-). Anyway, thanks. My application (real-time acquisition and processing for respiratory physiology) is also on its way to being open sourced, but it needs a little more documentation first. Steve
